Moving Frame - Moving Tangent Frames

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 U ⊂ M.

Famous quotes containing the words moving and/or frames:

    “Thou art a toilsome mole, or less,
    A moving mist;
    But life is what none can express,
    A quickness which my God hath kissed.”
    —Thomas Stanley (1625–1678)

    “The bird would cease and be as other birds
    But that he knows in singing not to sing.
    The question that he frames in all but words
    Is what to make of a diminished thing.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
