Nonabelian holonomies, loop spaces and integrability 
Abstract: 
Motivated by the generalization of zero curvature integrability methods, 
we elaborate flatness conditions for non-abelian connections in loop 
spaces, which are introduced as principal bundles. Requirements of 
reparametrization invariance lead to "no go" theorems for local formulations 
and the abelianization of their holonomy group. Nevertheless, some useful 
consistent sufficient conditions are possible, as explained in detail.
