The Levi-Civita Connection

Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 2018
On each Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifold, there is a unique connection determined by the metric, called the Levi-Civita connection. After defining it, we investigate the exponential map, which conveniently encodes the collective behavior of geodesics and allows us to study the way they change as the initial point and initial velocity vary.

LEVI–CIVITA CONNECTION ON ALMOST COMMUTATIVE ALGEBRAS

International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics, 2007
Recently we introduced a new definition of metrics on almost commutative algebras. In this paper, we propose a coherent notion of compatible linear connection with respect to any almost commutative tensor and show that to every metric there corresponds a unique torsion-free compatible connection. This connection is called the Levi–Civita connection of

Levi-Civita Connections on Degenerate Pseudo-Riemannian Manifolds

Journal of Mathematical Sciences, 2001
The author studies smooth manifolds with degenerate symmetric bilinear form of constant signature on tangent spaces. He gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a Levi-Civita connection on such manifolds using cyclicity condition.
