Moving Tangent Frames

The most commonly encountered case of a moving frame is for the bundle of tangent frames (also called the frame bundle) of a manifold. In this case, a moving tangent frame on a manifold M consists of a collection of vector fields X1, X2, ..., Xn forming a basis of the tangent space at each point of an open set UM.

Famous quotes containing the words moving and/or frames:

    If melodrama is the quintessence of drama, farce is the quintessence of theatre. Melodrama is written. A moving image of the world is provided by a writer. Farce is acted. The writer’s contribution seems not only absorbed but translated.... One cannot imagine melodrama being improvised. The improvised drama was pre-eminently farce.
    Eric Bentley (b. 1916)

    For laughter frames the lips of death—
    Death frames the Singer and the Song.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
