Connection (algebraic framework) Geometry of Quantum mechanics, quantum systems (e.g., noncommutative geometry and supergeometry) is mainly phrased in algebraic terms of module (mathematics), modules and algebras. Connections on modules are generalization of a linear connection (ve ...

Connection (mathematics) In geometry, the notion of a connection makes precise the idea of transporting local geometric objects, such as Tangent vector, tangent vectors or Tensor, tensors in the tangent space, along a curve or family of curves in a ''parallel'' and consist ...

, a way of specifying a derivative of a geometrical object along a vector field on a manifold * Connection (affine bundle) * Connection (composite bundle) * Connection (fibred manifold) * Connection (principal bundle), gives the derivative of a section of a principal bundle *

Connection (vector bundle) In mathematics, and especially differential geometry and gauge theory, a connection on a fiber bundle is a device that defines a notion of parallel transport on the bundle; that is, a way to "connect" or identify fibers over nearby points. The ...

, differentiates a section of a vector bundle along a vector field * Cartan connection, achieved by identifying tangent spaces with the tangent space of a certain model Klein geometry * Ehresmann connection, gives a manner for differentiating sections of a general fibre bundle * Electrical connection, allows the flow of electrons *

Galois connection In mathematics, especially in order theory, a Galois connection is a particular correspondence (typically) between two partially ordered sets (posets). Galois connections find applications in various mathematical theories. They generalize the fun ...

, a type of correspondence between two partially ordered sets * Affine connection, a geometric object on a smooth manifold which connects nearby tangent spaces *

Levi-Civita connection In Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian geometry (in particular the Lorentzian geometry of general relativity), the Levi-Civita connection is the unique affine connection on the tangent bundle of a manifold that preserves the ( pseudo-) Riemannian ...

, used in differential geometry and general relativity; differentiates a vector field along another vector field
