title: Frame fields in general relativity
text: A frame field in general relativity is a set of four pointwise-orthonormal vector fields, one timelike and three spacelike, defined on a Lorentzian manifold that is physically interpreted as a model of spacetime. The timelike unit vector field is often denoted by e → 0 and the three spacelike unit vector fields by e → 1 , e → 2 , e → 3 . All tensorial quantities defined on the manifold can be expressed using the frame field and its dual coframe field. Frame fields were introduced into general re
