Riemann Curvature tensor in nonholonomic coordinates and non-Riemannian space-timesThe calculation of the Riemann Curvature from the deviation of a vector undergoing parallel transport around a closed loop takes a very simple form when expressed in generalized geometrical notation. The parallel transport of a vector and the type of closed loop used in the calculation are discussed. The method generalizes similar work of Morganstern (1977) to nonholonomic coordinates and non-Riemannian space-times.
