In differential geometry, the term curvature tensor may refer to the Riemann curvature tensor of a Riemannian manifold, the curvature of an affine connection or covariant derivative (on tensors), or the curvature form of an Ehresmann connection.

In the mathematical field of differential geometry, the Riemann curvature tensor or Riemann–Christoffel tensor (after Bernhard Riemann and Elwin Bruno Christoffel) is the most common method used to express the curvature of Riemannian manifolds. Reference: Wikipedia.
