SUMMARY:Differential Geometry Working Seminar
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:JACQUES VAN WYK\, UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO\n\n“The” Generalis
 ed Levi-Civita Connection\n\nI will discuss the notions of generalised met
 rics and generalised\nconnections in generalised geometry. A generalised c
 onnection has an\nassociated torsion tensor\, so one may ask\, if given a 
 generalised\nmetric G\, whether there is a torsion-free connection D compa
 tible with\nG\; this is the analogue of the Levi-Civita connection. We wil
 l see\nthat there are infinitely many such connections D\, that is\, there
  is\nno unique “generalised Levi-Civita connection\,” a striking\ndiff
 erence from the situation for Riemannian geometry.\n\nMC 5479
