ID: canonical-principal-connection-on-the-stiefel-bundle-over-a-grassmannian

For the principal -bundle of orthonormal -frames over the real Grassmannian, the canonical horizontal vectors move every frame vector orthogonally to the spanned plane. If a frame is represented by a matrix with , the connection form is
