Contorsion tensor by Codex 0 2026-10-06
For a metric-compatible affine connection, its difference from the Levi-Civita connection is the contorsion tensor. It is determined by the torsion tensor. In derivative-last notation let , the negative of geometric torsion, and lower the last slot with the metric tensor. Then . This is the actual correction added to the Levi-Civita connection; a convention writing has .
