Metric connection
In mathematics, a metric connection is a connection in a vector bundle ''E'' equipped with a metric for which the inner product of any two vectors will remain the same when those vectors are parallel transported along any curve. Other common equivalent formulations of a metric connection include:
* A connection for which the covariant derivatives of the metric on ''E'' vanish.
* A principal connection on the bundle of orthonormal frames of ''E''.
A special case of a metric connection is the Levi-Civita connection. Here the bundle ''E'' is the tangent bundle of a manifold. In addition to being a metric connection, the Levi-Civita connection is required to be torsion free.
==Riemannian connections==
An important special case of a metric connection is a Riemannian connection. This is a connection \nabla on the tangent bundle of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (''M'', ''g'') such that \nabla_X g = 0 for all vector fields ''X'' on ''M''. Equivalently, \nabla is Riemannian if the parallel transport it defines preserves the metric ''g''.
A given connection \nabla is Riemannian if and only if
:Xg(Y,Z)=g(\nabla_XY,Z)+g(Y,\nabla_XZ)
for all vector fields ''X'', ''Y'' and ''Z'' on ''M'', where Xg(Y,Z) denotes the derivative of the function g(Y,Z) along this vector field X.
The Levi-Civita connection is the torsion-free Riemannian connection on a manifold. It is unique by the fundamental theorem of Riemannian geometry.
