Connection

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) 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, gives a manner for differentiating sections of a general fibre bundle Electrical connection, allows the flow of electrons Galois connection, 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, used in differential geometry and general relativity; differentiates a vector field along another vector field
