May 14, 2014 at 19:05 comment added Ramand Thank you, I'm really Thankful. I appreciate your kind and soon respond.
May 14, 2014 at 18:23 comment added Robert Bryant Yes, of course. Take any nontrivial, oriented, Euclidean $3$-plane bundle. For example, consider the canonical $3$-plane bundle over the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}_3(\mathbb{R}^{n+3})$ of oriented $3$-planes in $\mathbb{R}^{n+3}$ for $n\ge 2$. Now endow it with the Lie algebra structure that I described above in my answer.
May 14, 2014 at 15:38 comment added Ramand thank you Prof. Robert Bryant. Is there example of non-trivial bundle of Lie Algebras?

Fixed a grammar error in the first sentence.
May 11, 2014 at 10:08 comment added Robert Bryant Of course examples exist: Just take the above construction with $\lambda=1$ and any Riemannian connection on $E$. However, as the example I gave shows, you won't always have the existence of such a connection, just sometimes.
May 11, 2014 at 9:33 comment added Ramand Thank you Robert Bryant,I'm not smooth in English,and it causes problem in my question. I want an example of bundle of Lie algebras with an Invariant metric in it, admitting Riemannian connection with that property.
