Connection may refer to:

Mathematics

* Connection (algebraic framework) * Connection (mathematics), a way of specifying a derivative of a geometrical object along a vector field on a manifold * Connection (affine bundle) *

Connection (composite bundle) Composite bundles Y\to \Sigma \to X play a prominent role in gauge theory with symmetry breaking, e.g., gauge gravitation theory, non-autonomous mechanics where X=\mathbb R is the time axis, e.g., mechanics with time-dependent parameters, and so o ...

* Connection (fibred manifold) * Connection (principal bundle), gives the derivative of a section of a principal bundle * Connection (vector bundle), 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 In differential geometry, an Ehresmann connection (after the French mathematician Charles Ehresmann who first formalized this concept) is a version of the notion of a connection, which makes sense on any smooth fiber bundle. In particular, it does ...

, 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 funda ...

, 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 (i.e. affine connection) that preserves th ...

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