1. Christoffel Symbols

   Linked via "linear connection"

   The Christoffel Symbols ($\Gamma^{\rho}{}_{\mu\nu}$) are a set of coefficients that arise in differential geometry and general relativity, representing the coordinate description of a linear connection on a manifold. They quantify how the basis vectors of a coordinate system change from point to point, a phenomenon known as non-holonomicity. While not tensors themselves (as they do n…
