Bases for tangent spaces
The following functions and types provide support for bases of the tangent space of different manifolds. Moreover, bases of the cotangent space are also supported, though this description focuses on the tangent space. An orthonormal basis of the tangent space $T_p \mathcal M$ of (real) dimension $n$ has a real-coefficient basis $e_1, e_2, …, e_n$ if $\mathrm{Re}(g_p(e_i, e_j)) = δ_{ij}$ for each $i,j ∈ \{1, 2, …, n\}$ where $g_p$ is the Riemannian metric at point $p$. A vector $X$ from the tangent space $T_p \mathcal M$ can be expressed in Einstein notation as a sum $X = X^i e_i$, where (real) coefficients $X^i$ are calculated as $X^i = \mathrm{Re}(g_p(X, e_i))$.
The main types are:
DefaultOrthonormalBasis
, which is designed to work when no special properties of the tangent space basis are required. It is designed to makeget_coordinates
andget_vector
fast.DiagonalizingOrthonormalBasis
, which diagonalizes the curvature tensor and makes the curvature in the selected direction equal to 0.ProjectedOrthonormalBasis
, which projects a basis of the ambient space and orthonormalizes projections to obtain a basis in a generic way.CachedBasis
, which stores (explicitly or implicitly) a precomputed basis at a certain point.
The main functions are:
get_basis
precomputes a basis at a certain point.get_coordinates
returns coordinates of a tangent vector.get_vector
returns a vector for the specified coordinates.get_vectors
returns a vector of basis vectors. Calling it should be avoided for high-dimensional manifolds.
