We study covariant derivatives on a class of centered bimodules $mathcal{E}$ over an algebra A. We begin by identifying a $mathbb{Z} ( A ) $-submodule $ mathcal{X} ( A ) $ which can be viewed as the analogue of vector fields in this context; $ mathcal{X} ( A ) $ is proven to be a Lie algebra. Connections on $mathcal{E}$ are in one to one correspondence with covariant derivatives on $ mathcal{X} ( A ). $ We recover the classical formulas of torsion and metric compatibility of a connection in the covariant derivative form. As a result, a Koszul formula for the Levi-Civita connection is also derived.

Given a tame differential calculus over a noncommutative algebra $mathcal{A}$ and an $mathcal{A}$-bilinear pseudo-Riemannian metric $g_0,$ consider the conformal deformation $ g = k. g_0, $ $k$ being an invertible element of $mathcal{A}.$We prove tha
t there exists a unique connection $ abla$ on the bimodule of one-forms of the differential calculus which is torsionless and compatible with $g.$ We derive a concrete formula connecting $ abla$ and the Levi-Civita connection for the pseudo-Riemannian metric $g_0.$ As an application, we compute the Ricci and scalar curvature for a general conformal perturbation of the canonical metric on the noncommutative $2$-torus as well as for a natural metric on the quantum Heisenberg manifold. For the latter, the scalar curvature turns out to be a negative constant.
We give a new definition of Levi-Civita connection for a noncommutative pseudo-Riemannian metric on a noncommutative manifold given by a spectral triple. We prove the existence-uniqueness result for a class of modules of one forms over a large class
of noncommutative manifolds, including the matrix geometry of the fuzzy 3-sphere, the quantum Heisenberg manifolds and Connes-Landi deformations of spectral triples on the Connes-Dubois Violette-Rieffel-deformation of a compact manifold equipped with a free toral action. It is interesting to note that in the example of the quantum Heisenberg manifold, the definition of metric compatibility given in the paper by Frolich et al failed to ensure the existence of a unique Levi-Civita connection. In the case of the matrix geometry, the Levi-Civita connection that we get coincides with the unique real torsion-less unitary connection obtained by Frolich et al.
We prove the existence and uniqueness of Levi-Civita connections for strongly sigma-compatible pseudo-Riemannian metrics on tame differential calculi. Such pseudo-Riemannian metrics properly contain the classes of bilinear metrics as well as their co
nformal deformations. This extends the previous results in references 9 and 10. Star-compatibility of Levi-Civita connections for bilinear pseudo-Riemannian metrics are also discussed.
Given a bicovariant differential calculus $(mathcal{E}, d)$ such that the braiding map is diagonalisable in a certain sense, the bimodule of two-tensors admits a direct sum decomposition into symmetric and anti-symmetric tensors. This is used to prov
e the existence of a bicovariant torsionless connection on $mathcal{E}$. Following Heckenberger and Schm{u}dgen, we study invariant metrics and the compatibility of covariant connections with such metrics. A sufficient condition for the existence and uniqueness of bicovariant Levi-Civita connections is derived. This condition is shown to hold for cocycle deformations of classical Lie groups.
We construct a noncommutative Cartan calculus on any braided commutative algebra and study its applications in noncommutative geometry. The braided Lie derivative, insertion and de Rham differential are introduced and related via graded braided commu
tators, also incorporating the braided Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket. The resulting braided Cartan calculus generalizes the Cartan calculus on smooth manifolds and the twisted Cartan calculus. While it is a necessity of derivation based Cartan calculi on noncommutative algebras to employ central bimodules our approach allows to consider bimodules over the full underlying algebra. Furthermore, equivariant covariant derivatives and metrics on braided commutative algebras are discussed. In particular, we prove the existence and uniqueness of an equivariant Levi-Civita covariant derivative for any fixed non-degenerate equivariant metric. Operating in a symmetric braided monoidal category we argue that Drinfeld twist deformation corresponds to gauge equivalences of braided Cartan calculi. The notions of equivariant covariant derivative and metric are compatible with the Drinfeld functor as well. Moreover, we project braided Cartan calculi to submanifold algebras and prove that this process commutes with twist deformation.
