Connection (affine bundle)

Differential geometry | Connection (mathematics)

Let Y → X be an affine bundle modelled over a vector bundle Y → X. A connection Γ on Y → X is called the affine connection if it as a section Γ : Y → J1Y of the jet bundle J1Y → Y of Y is an affine bundle morphism over X. In particular, this is an affine connection on the tangent bundle TX of a smooth manifold X. (That is, the connection on an affine bundle is an example of an affine connection; it is not, however, a general definition of an affine connection. These are related but distinct concepts both unfortunately making use of the adjective "affine".) With respect to affine bundle coordinates (xλ, yi) on Y, an affine connection Γ on Y → X is given by the tangent-valued connection form An affine bundle is a fiber bundle with a general affine structure group GA(m, ℝ) of affine transformations of its typical fiber V of dimension m. Therefore, an affine connection is associated to a principal connection. It always exists. For any affine connection Γ : Y → J1Y, the corresponding linear derivative Γ : Y → J1Y of an affine morphism Γ defines a unique linear connection on a vector bundle Y → X. With respect to linear bundle coordinates (xλ, yi) on Y, this connection reads Since every vector bundle is an affine bundle, any linear connection ona vector bundle also is an affine connection. If Y → X is a vector bundle, both an affine connection Γ and an associated linear connection Γ areconnections on the same vector bundle Y → X, and their difference is a basic soldering form on Thus, every affine connection on a vector bundle Y → X is a sum of a linear connection and a basic soldering form on Y → X. Due to the canonical vertical splitting VY = Y × Y, this soldering form is brought into a vector-valued form where ei is a fiber basis for Y. Given an affine connection Γ on a vector bundle Y → X, let R and R be the curvatures of a connection Γ and the associated linear connection Γ, respectively. It is readily observed that R = R + T, where is the torsion of Γ with respect to the basic soldering form σ. In particular, consider the tangent bundle TX of a manifold X coordinated by (xμ, ẋμ). There is the canonical soldering form on TX which coincides with the tautological one-form on X due to the canonical vertical splitting VTX = TX × TX. Given an arbitrary linear connection Γ on TX, the corresponding affine connection on TX is the Cartan connection. The torsion of the Cartan connection A with respect to the soldering form θ coincides with the torsion of a linear connection Γ, and its curvature is a sum R + T of the curvature and the torsion of Γ.

Introduction to Fiber Bundles part 1: Definitions

We give the definition of a fiber bundle with fiber F, trivializations and transition maps. This is a really basic stuff that we use a lot. Here are the topics this sets up: *Associated Bundles/Principal Bundles *Reductions of Structure Groups *Steenrod's Theorem *Torsor structure on arith

Tensor Calculus Episode 10 | Is the Affine Connection a Tensor?

In todays video I look at the transformation properties of the affine connection coefficients to see if they transform as tensor components. This series is based off "Tensor Calculus for Physics" by Dwight Neuenschwander which can be found at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1421415658/

Connectedness

In this video, I define connectedness, which is a very important concept in topology and math in general. Essentially, it means that your space only consists of one piece, whereas disconnected spaces have two or more pieces. I also define the related notion of path-connectedness. Topology
