Stable bundle of an Anosov flow ($E^s$)

The stable bundle consists of the transverse directions exponentially contracted in positive time. The unstable bundle has the corresponding negative-time property. A positive time change of a smooth flow can tilt these bundles in the flow direction, even though it preserves the underlying orbits.

The weak stable bundle adjoins the flow direction to the strong stable bundle. It is tangent to the weak stable foliation. For a geodesic flow on a hyperbolic surface, the canonical frame gives $E^{ws}=\mathrm{span}\{X,H-V\}$.
