text:
In differential geometry, a Weyl connection is a generalization of the Levi-Civita connection that makes sense on a conformal manifold. They were introduced by Hermann Weyl in an attempt to unify general relativity and electromagnetism. His approach, although it did not lead to a successful theory, lead to further developments of the theory in conformal geometry, including a detailed study by Élie Cartan. They were also discussed in Eisenhart (1927). Specifically, let M be a smooth manifold, and
