| Jun 7, 2015 at 15:54 | comment | added | K7PEH | What object does it connect? It connects nearby (local) tangent spaces on a smooth manifold. It is used to show the changes to tangents as a result of parallel transport. It is usually coordinate based. I have no idea though who coined the term but it seems to be a good fitting obvious name. | |
