   Linked via "inverse of the metric tensor"

   $$\Gamma^{\rho}{}{\mu\nu} = \frac{1}{2} g^{\rho\sigma} \left( \frac{\partial g{\sigma\mu}}{\partial x^{\nu}} + \frac{\partial g{\sigma\nu}}{\partial x^{\mu}} - \frac{\partial g{\mu\nu}}{\partial x^{\sigma}} \right)$$
   Here, $g^{\rho\sigma}$ is the inverse of the metric tensor. This formulation explicitly shows the reliance of the connection structure solely on the derivatives of the metric field. If the manifold possesses a symmetry where the partial derivative of the metric tensor vanishes, $\partial{\sigma} g{\mu\nu} = 0$…
