Statement

A differential manifold M. Two metric bundles (E,g) and (E,g) (i.e., E,E are vector bundles and g,g are Riemannian metrics or pseudo-Riemannian metrics on these). , are metric connections on (E,g) and (E,g) respectively. Then, the tensor product of connections is a metric connection on (EE,gg).
