Local Frames

Description

This lecture introduces the concept of local frames, which are collections of smooth vector fields forming bases for tangent spaces on manifolds. The instructor explains how local frames are related to global frames, the existence of local frames, and their construction using diffeomorphisms and Gram-Schmidt. The lecture concludes with a discussion on the limitations of obtaining global frames due to the Hairy Ball Theorem.
