Oriented frame bundle of de Sitter spacetime
ID: oriented-frame-bundle-of-de-sitter-spacetime
Represent unit-radius de Sitter spacetime by the spacelike unit hyperboloid in five-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Appending its position vector as the last column of an oriented pseudo-orthonormal frame produces a matrix in . Projection to that last column identifies with the oriented orthonormal frame bundle, a principal bundle with group . The full bundle allowing both orientations is with group . Requiring a time orientation as well selects the corresponding identity components.
