The purpose of these lectures is to propose a mapping procedure, analogous to Einstein's equivalence principle, by which classical orbits (and thus path integrals) for the motion in flat space are transformed into orbits in curved space with torsion. In this procedure, nonholonomic mappings play a fundamental role. This way, a version of the variational (i.e., Hamilton's) principle, is encountered leading to an equation of motion which involves the Christoffel symbol of the affine connection. The solutions are termed autoparallels. The situation may be compared to the theory of defects in crystals with occurrence of the Burgers vector. When dealing with path integrals, an additional postulate has to be made: the a-priori measure to be used in curved space has to come from the flat space (i.e., Feynman's) formulation. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0878.00071].
