| contents | We compare the constructions of Levi-Civita connections for noncommutative algebras developed in arXiv:1505.07330, arXiv:1809.06721, arXiv:2403.13735. The assumptions in these various constructions differ, but when they are all defined, we provide direct translations between them. An essential assumption is that the (indefinite) Hermitian inner product on differential forms/vector fields provides an isomorphism with the module dual. By exploiting our translations and clarifying the simplifications that occur for centred bimodules, we extend the existence results for Hermitian torsion-free connections in arXiv:1505.07330, arXiv:1809.06721. |
