  2. Levi-Civita symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levi-Civita_symbol

    As it does not change at all, the Levi-Civita symbol is, by definition, a pseudotensor. As the Levi-Civita symbol is a pseudotensor, the result of taking a cross product is a pseudovector, not a vector. [5] Under a general coordinate change, the components of the permutation tensor are multiplied by the Jacobian of the transformation matrix ...

  3. Levi-Civita connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levi-Civita_connection

    The Levi-Civita connection is named after Tullio Levi-Civita, although originally "discovered" by Elwin Bruno Christoffel.Levi-Civita, [1] along with Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro, used Christoffel's symbols [2] to define the notion of parallel transport and explore the relationship of parallel transport with the curvature, thus developing the modern notion of holonomy.

  4. Kronecker delta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kronecker_delta

    The Kronecker delta has the so-called sifting property that for : = =. and if the integers are viewed as a measure space, endowed with the counting measure, then this property coincides with the defining property of the Dirac delta function () = (), and in fact Dirac's delta was named after the Kronecker delta because of this analogous property ...

  5. Normal coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_coordinates

    In normal coordinates associated to the Levi-Civita connection of a Riemannian manifold, one can additionally arrange that the metric tensor is the Kronecker delta at the point p, and that the first partial derivatives of the metric at p vanish.

  6. Triple product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_product

    This can be simplified by performing a contraction on the Levi-Civita symbols, = =, where is the Kronecker delta function (= when and = when =) and is the generalized Kronecker delta function. We can reason out this identity by recognizing that the index k {\displaystyle k} will be summed out leaving only i {\displaystyle i} and j ...

  7. Metric connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_connection

    The Levi-Civita connection is the torsion-free Riemannian connection on a manifold. It is unique by the fundamental theorem of Riemannian geometry. For every Riemannian connection, one may write a (unique) corresponding Levi-Civita connection. The difference between the two is given by the contorsion tensor.

    Danganronpa V3 continues the same style of gameplay as the first two numbered Danganronpa games, which is split into School Life, Deadly Life, and Class Trial segments. . During School Life, the player interacts with other characters and progresses through the story until coming across a murder victim and entering the Deadly Life, during which they must gather evidence for use in the Class Tri

  9. Riemannian connection on a surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemannian_connection_on_a...

    In mathematics, the Riemannian connection on a surface or Riemannian 2-manifold refers to several intrinsic geometric structures discovered by Tullio Levi-Civita, Élie Cartan and Hermann Weyl in the early part of the twentieth century: parallel transport, covariant derivative and connection form.
