Conceptual definition of the extension of a connection to 1-forms
Although the answer is already given, it may be helpful to point out how the coordinate definition contains the multilinear definition, in a single step of work. From the definition
$$(d^\nabla s)_{ij …

Vector field along an immersion whose covariant derivative is the differential
Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannnian manifold and let $f:\Sigma\to M$ be a smooth immersion. Then the vector bundle $f^\ast TM\to\Sigma$ has a natural bundle metric and metric-compatible connection. Can one c …
