A vector field on $M$ is a section of the map $\pi:TM\to M$.

#### Riemannian metric
|
||||
|
||||
A Riemannian metric is a smooth assignment of an inner product to each tangent space $T_pM$ of the manifold.
|
||||
|
||||
More formally, let $M$ be a smooth manifold. A **Riemannian metric** on $M$ is a smooth covariant 2-tensor field $g\in \mathcal{T}^2(M)$ whose value $g_p$ at each $p\in M$ is an inner product on $T_p M$.
|
||||
|
||||
Thus $g$ is a symmetric 2-tensor field that is positive definite in the sense that $g_p(v,v)\geq 0$ for each $p\in M$ and each $v\in T_p M$, with equality if and only if $v=0$.
|
||||
|
||||
Riemannian metric exists in great abundance.
|
||||
|
||||
A good news for smooth manifold is that every smooth manifold admits a Riemannian metric.

#### Riemannian manifolds
|

|

A Riemannian manifold is a smooth manifold equipped with a **Riemannian metric**, which is a smooth assignment of an inner product to each tangent space $T_pM$ of the manifold.
|
||||
|
||||
More formally, a **Riemannian manifold** is a pair $(M,g)$, where $M$ is a smooth manifold and $g$ is a specific choice of Riemannian metric on $M$.

#### Fundamental theorem of Riemannian geometry
|
||||
|
||||
Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifold (with or without boundary). There exist sa unique connection $\nabla$ on $TM$ that is compatible with $g$ and symmetric. It is called the **Levi-Civita** connection of $g$ (or also, when $g$ is a positive definite, the Riemannian connection).
