Ehresmann connection for the canonical foliation on a manifold over a local algebra (Q1358475)

The author defines an \(A\)-affine horizontal distribution on a manifold \(M^A\) over a local algebra \(A\) and shows that for a complete manifold \(M^A\) this distribution is an Ehresmann connection in the sense of Blumenthal-Hebda. He also proves that the \(A\)-affine horizontal distribution on \(M^A\) exists if and only if the Atiyah class of a certain foliated principal bundle vanishes.
