Abstract: Using a almost product structure defined by a spray, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a linear connection with vanishing torsion to be Riemannian; we show the equivalence of the semi-simplicity of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra on $mathbbR$ to the coincidence of the derived ideal to its algebra and to the interiority of any derivation of the algebra.
