Contorsion tensor

The contorsion tensor in differential geometry is the difference between a connection with and without torsion in it. It commonly appears in the study of spin connections. Thus, for example, a vielbein together with a spin connection, when subject to the condition of vanishing torsion, gives a description of Einstein gravity. For supersymmetry, the same constraint, of vanishing torsion, gives (the field equations of) 11-dimensional supergravity. That is, the contorsion tensor, along with the connection, becomes one of the dynamical objects of the theory, demoting the metric to a secondary, derived role. The elimination of torsion in a connection is referred to as the absorption of torsion, and is one of the steps of Cartan's equivalence method for establishing the equivalence of geometric structures.

A Concrete Introduction to Tensor Products

The tensor product of vector spaces (or modules over a ring) can be difficult to understand at first because it's not obvious how calculations can be done with the elements of a tensor product. In this video we give an explanation of an explicit construction of the tensor product and work
