Connection 1-Forms

Abstract

Abstract We will describe the Levi-Civita connection and its covariant derivative on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold. Then we abstract the idea of a connection to define a more general class of manifolds. After briefly describing their main features, we go back to pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and discuss their possible connections.
