Levi-Civita Connection

  • Ulrich Pinkall,

摘要

The Levi-Civita connection of a surface \(f\colon M \to \mathbb {R}^3\) provides a geometrically meaningful way to take directional derivatives of a vector field Y  on M. Based on the Levi-Civita connection we derive two important equations that are satisfied by the curvature of a surface in \(\mathbb {R}^3\) : the Gauss equation and the Codazzi equation.
