In a recent paper [1], H. Ozeki has extended the author’s results [2] on local and infinitesimal holonomy groups for connections in linear fiber bundles (whose fiber is a vector space) to general fiber bundles whose structure group is a Lie group. Ozeki’s Lemma 7 (corresponding to the author’s Lemma 5.2) appears to be rather crucial in the development, while the proof is somewhat involved.—This note intends to present a more direct proof of the lemma, stating a case in which the local holonomy group H*(x)and the infinitesimal holonomy group H’(x)coincide:
