A four-valent tensor whose coordinates (components) are defined by the objects $\Gamma_{ij}^{-k}$ of the connection of the space, which are called the Christoffel symbols (cf. Christoffel symbol) of the second kind. A Riemann–Christoffel tensor is also known as a Riemann tensor. See Riemann tensor.
