In global coordinates the de Sitter spacetime metric is −dτ2+cosh2τgS3​. A global frame of a vector bundle orthonormal for the round metric Y1​,Y2​,Y3​ on S3 gives the displayed global pseudo-orthonormal frame. For example, identify S3 with the unit quaternions and use qi,qj,qk. Choosing the spatial orientation and the future direction consistently gives a section of a fiber bundle for the oriented, time-oriented frame bundle. The principal bundle trivialization by a global section then proves that bundle is trivial.
