Noncommutative Geometry
The Levi-Civita connection is a unique affine connection on a Riemannian manifold that is compatible with the metric and torsion-free. It allows for the definition of parallel transport and covariant differentiation in a way that respects the geometric structure of the manifold, making it crucial for understanding connections and curvature in differential geometry.
congrats on reading the definition of Levi-Civita connection. now let's actually learn it.
