Oriented orthonormal frame bundle of Minkowski spacetime
ID: oriented-orthonormal-frame-bundle-of-minkowski-spacetime
An oriented pseudo-orthonormal frame in Minkowski spacetime consists of its base point and a Lorentz matrix acting on a fixed reference frame. The pairs form the Poincaré group, and right multiplication by sends the frame to while fixing its base point. Thus the displayed projection is a principal bundle with group . The full frame bundle uses ; a specified time orientation restricts to the corresponding connected component.
