/ˈviːlbaɪn/
In theoretical physics, a vielbein is a set of orthonormal basis vectors in a tangent space of a manifold, used in the context of general relativity and string theory to describe the geometry of spacetime.
The vielbein formalism is crucial for formulating theories of gravity in higher dimensions.
Any one of the individual orthonormal basis one-forms (or vectors) that together constitute such a set in the tangent space of a manifold.
Each vielbein e^a carries a Lorentz index indicating its orientation in the local frame.
