| Jan 23, 2011 at 0:48 | comment | added | Bill Thurston | You have not defined coordinates for $T(TM)$, so the question is not well-formulated. The whole point of the covariant derivative in Riemannian geometry is to define coordinates and defining a value for the second derivative of a curve as a vector. If you just use definitions from local coordinates, they will not be consistent when you change coordinates: a straight line in one coordinate system can look like any embedded smooth curve at all in another coordinate system. | |
