Tangent bundle

Common card · No. 382969

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. Formally, in differential geometry, the tangent bundle of a differentiable manifold M {\displaystyle M} is a manifold T M {\displaystyle TM} which assembles all the tangent vectors in M {\displaystyle M} . As a set, it is given by the disjoint union of the tangent spaces of M {\displaystyle M} . That is, T M = ⨆ x ∈ M T...
