A framing of an embedded sphere is a trivialization of its rank- normal bundle. The standard complex line has normal bundle of Euler number , so this embedded has no framing.
If one framing exists, every other orientation-compatible framing is obtained from it by a map . Consequently the set of homotopy classes is a torsor forFor and , this is ; the integer is the winding number of one framing relative to .
