this idea from Wald’s General Relativity where he first introduces the notion of a Christoffel symbol using metric spaces then generalizes the concept to connections which are “more or less arbitrary”. I believe he has some criteria the possible connections must meet. I do not have Wald with me. Perhaps someone else that has it nearby could check? If I am right then the first sentence should say that Christoffel symbols “are an array of numbers that can be used to represent an affine connection. If a metric is also introduced then a connection can be calculated from it.” If I am right the wiki is incorrect. The references currently quoted could also be confused as I think it was some time before mathematicians realized the independence of connections from a metric.
195: 84: 74: 53: 344: 185: 158: 22: 894:. However, this article, as currently written, defines the Christoffel symbols in terms of the metric. It would need some major restructuring to wedge in some other definition, and then go through some pains to demonstrate that this earlier, more primitive definition turns out to be exactly the same as the conventional formulation built from the metric tensor. 287: 831:." is very misleading because the existence of Christoffel symbols does not guarantee the existence of a metric connection. Christoffel symbols are well-defined in terms of the affine behavior absent any type of metric connection or coordinate representation. See, for instance, Chandrasekhar (1983). I propose new wording as follows: "the 870:
I believe that a Christoffel symbol can be used to define a connection where no metric has been defined. If a metric is defined then a connection can be calculated from it, but it is not necessary that a metric be defined in order to define a connection and express it with a Christoffel symbol. I got

When I was a student, I was greatly confused about the difference between an affine connection and a metric connection. It took a while to un-confuse, and this article seems to blithly confuse the two as if they're the same thing. But there is a difference: an affine connection is what you can define

The emphatic assertion that Christoffel symbols are not tensors is dependent on what you view the essential qualities of tensors to be. If you view a tensor as "something that transforms like a tensor under coordinate transformations", then it doesn't obey this rule. But if you view a tensor field

This paragraph is related to no-relativistic mechanics, so to force in spatial curvilinear coordinates.

The one-to-one relationship between tangent vectors and directional derivatives is such a basic part of the theory of tangent spaces to manifolds that it is reasonable to assume standard notation like this. However, in print it is common to "bold" the partial ∂'s to make it clear that this is the

I think these are the points that a corrected first paragraph would say. Let me see if I can create such a paragraph; I guess the rest of the article is probably OK as it stands. To answer your question: yes,this article says lots of things that aren't covered, cannot be covered elsewhere.

For the simple reason that the many young or untrained-in-the-Einstein-summation-convention will not understand it on first reading. And it is not necessary to train readers in that convention for the purpose of their being able to understand this article. Or desirable. Especially when the
543:, the concept equivalent to the Christoffel symbol is the gauge field. although conceptually similar, no one calls gauge fields "Christoffel symbols", its just not done, so the phrase "Christoffel symbol" is reserved entirely for Riemannian geometry. Thus, the next sentence is quasi-true: 423:

571:" is some Riemannian connection with torsion in it. Its false for affine connections in general: so again, in gauge theory, there is no concept of Levi-Civita. The upshot is that the rest of the article is fine, as long as we change the first paragraph to make clear these points: 2379: 444:
I haven't read this article in a while. The first paragraph ends with an explicit disclaimer that connections often, but not always, come from metrics. But much of the rest of the article seems to assume that a metric is present. So I find myself agreeing with
403:*without* ever having a metric, using a metric, knowing what a metric is, or any of that. One does not need a metric to define a connection, and one does not need a metric to define torsion and curvature -- these follow just fine for affine connections (see 2595: 808:
There. Its a good bit longer, but more accurate, and I think it opens the doors to a bigger view that is often a tripping point for students (viz the difference between affine geometry and Riemannian geometry). I will copy this into the article shortly.
