We discuss the problem of prescribing the curvature of a connection on a principal bundle whose base manifold is three-dimensional. In particular, we consider the local question: Given a curvature form F , when does there exist locally a connection A such that F is the curvature of A  ? When the structure group of the bundle is semisimple, a finite number of nonlinear identities arise as necessary conditions for local solvability of the curvature equation. We conjecture that these conditions...
