Levi-Civita connection


On any Riemannian manifoldMathworldPlanetmath M,g, there is a unique torsion-free affine connectionMathworldPlanetmath on the tangent bundle of M such that the covariant derivativeMathworldPlanetmath of the metric tensor g is zero, i.e. g is covariantly constant. This condition can be also be expressed in terms of the inner product operation ,:TM×TM induced by g as follows: For allvector fields X,Y,ZTM, one has

X(Y,Z)=XY,Z+Y,XZ

and

XY-YX=[X,Y]

This connection is called the Levi-Civita connectionMathworldPlanetmath.

In local coordinates {x1,,xn}, the Christoffel symbolsMathworldPlanetmath (http://planetmath.org/Connection) Γjki are determined by

giΓjki=12(gjxk+gkxj-gjkx).
