Manifolds admitting flat connections

For question 1 : if a vector bundle admits a flat connection, it comes from a representation of the fundamental group. Thus if $TM$ admits a flat connection and $M$ is simply-connected, $TM$ is trivi …

Question about a proof in Berthelot's crystalline book

Suppose you have a commutative ring $R$, a square zero ideal $I\subset R$, a $R$-module $M$ and an endomorphism $u$ of $M$ which is the identity modulo $IM$. Then $v:= 1_M-u$ maps $M$ to $IM$, hence $ …
