Let be a smooth manifold and let be a one-parameter family of Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian metrics. Suppose that it is a differentiable family in the sense that for any smooth coordinate chart, the derivatives v i j = ∂ ∂ t ( ( g t ) i j ) {\displaystyle v_{ij}={\frac {\partial }{\partial t}}{\big (}(g_{t})_{ij}{\big )}} exist and are ...

In Riemannian geometry and pseudo-Riemannian geometry, the Gauss–Codazzi equations (also called the Gauss–Codazzi–Weingarten-Mainardi equations or Gauss–Peterson–Codazzi formulas [1]) are fundamental formulas that link together the induced metric and second fundamental form of a submanifold of (or immersion into) a Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifold.
Cartan connection. Cartan-Hadamard space is a complete, simply-connected, non-positively curved Riemannian manifold.. Cartan–Hadamard theorem is the statement that a connected, simply connected complete Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature is diffeomorphic to R n via the exponential map; for metric spaces, the statement that a connected, simply connected complete ...
In particular, on a closed Riemannian manifold of negative Ricci curvature, every Killing vector field is identically zero. Since the isometry group of a complete Riemannian manifold is a Lie group whose Lie algebra is naturally identified with the vector space of Killing vector fields, it follows that the isometry group is zero-dimensional.

The fundamental theorem of Riemannian geometry states that on any Riemannian manifold (or pseudo-Riemannian manifold) there is a unique affine connection that is torsion-free and metric-compatible, called the Levi-Civita connection or (pseudo-) Riemannian connection of the given metric.
In the mathematical field of differential geometry, there are various splitting theorems on when a pseudo-Riemannian manifold can be given as a metric product. The best-known is the Cheeger–Gromoll splitting theorem for Riemannian manifolds, although there has also been research into splitting of Lorentzian manifolds.
