The invariant affine connection over a coset space G/J of a Lie group G have been discussed by various authors. Recently, Nomizu [8] gave a systematic study of this problem when J is reductible in G. Among other results, he established a 1-1 correspondence between the invariant affine connections and certain multilinear mappings, and calculated the torsion and curvature. For canonical affine connection of the second kind, the holonomy group was also given.
