A hypersurface of Euclidean space obtains its Levi-Civita connection by orthogonal projection
of ordinary derivatives of vector fields in Euclidean space onto the hypersurface's tangent space.
Suppose rather than the unit normal, there is a non-zero transverse vector field and orthogonal projection is replaced by projection with respect to this vector field. What sort of geometry comes from this?
