A tangent bundle is the collection of all of the tangent spaces for all points on a manifold, structured in a way that it forms a new manifold itself....

associated to its tangent bundle. For this reason it is sometimes called the tangent frame bundle. Let E → X be a real vector bundle of rank k over a topological...

2n. The tangent bundle is where tangent vectors lie, and is itself a differentiable manifold. The Lagrangian is a function on the tangent bundle. One can...

to the manifold at that point. Tangent bundles are not, in general, trivial bundles. For example, the tangent bundle of the sphere is non-trivial by...

geometry, the holomorphic tangent bundle of a complex manifold M {\displaystyle M} is the holomorphic analogue of the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold....

the double tangent bundle or the second tangent bundle refers to the tangent bundle (TTM,πTTM,TM) of the total space TM of the tangent bundle (TM,πTM,M)...

vector bundle in question is the tangent bundle T M {\displaystyle TM} , the unit sphere bundle is known as the unit tangent bundle. A sphere bundle is partially...

a field of mathematics, a normal bundle is a particular kind of vector bundle, complementary to the tangent bundle, and coming from an embedding (or...

point in the manifold. It may be described also as the dual bundle to the tangent bundle. This may be generalized to categories with more structure than...

setting, a vector field gives a tangent vector at each point of the manifold (that is, a section of the tangent bundle to the manifold). Vector fields...
