Let M be an n-dimensional connected C∞ manifold with a linear connection Γ. M is said to be of recurrent curvature with respect to Γ if the corresponding curvature tensor R satisfies [1], [4]

where Δ denotes covariant derivative with respect to Γ and W is a nonzero covector called the recurrence co-vector. Let T be the torsion of Γ.
