Using the non-symmetry of a connection, it is possible to introduce four types of covariant derivatives. Based on these derivatives, several types of Ricci?s identities and twelve curvature tensors are obtained. Five of them are linearly independent but the other curvature tensors can be expressed as linear combinations of these five linearly independent curvature tensors and the curvature tensor of the corresponding associated symmetric space. The semisymmetric connection is defined and the properties of two of the five independent curvature tensors are analyzed. In the same manner, the properties for three others curvature tensors may be derived.
