A normal form is presented for the Weil-Petersson Levi-Civita connection for pinched hyperbolic metrics. The normal form is used to establish approximation of geodesics in boundary spaces. Considerations are combined to establish convexity along Weil-Petersson geodesics of the functions the distance between horocycles for a hyperbolic metric.Differential Geometry32G15 (Primary) 20H10, 30F60 (Secondary)Extension of the Weil-Petersson connectiontext
