Jan 19, 2010 at 2:47 comment added Harald Hanche-Olsen One common definition $[X,Y]f=X(Yf)-Y(Xf)$ does indeed express the bracket as a difference of second order operators. However, a look at the coordinates reveals that $[X,Y]$ can indeed be defined if $X$ and $Y$ are $C^1$ only. I suspect that Frobenius holds even in this case, but don't know for sure.

Jan 19, 2010 at 2:20 comment added Deane Yang I don't know the answer to this question. But why is the Lie bracket a second order operator and why does the subbundle E have to be C^2?
