===Change of frame=== Under a change of frame :<math>e_\alpha' = \sum_\beta e_\beta g_\alpha^\beta</math> where ''g'' is a ''G''-valued function defined on an open subset of ''M'', the connection form transforms via <!--Todo: incorporate index version above as well. --> :<math>\omega_\alpha^\beta(\mathbf e\cdot g) = (g^{-1})_\gamma^\beta dg_\alpha^\gamma + (g^{-1})_\gamma^\beta \omega_\delta^\gamma(\mathbf e)g_\alpha^\delta.</math> Or, using matrix products: :<math>\omega({\mathbf e}\cdot g) = g^{-1}dg + g^{-1}\omega g.</math> To interpret each of these terms, recall that ''g'' : ''M'' β ''G'' is a ''G''-valued (locally defined) function. With this in mind, :<math>\omega({\mathbf e}\cdot g) = g^*\omega_{\mathfrak g} + \text{Ad}_{g^{-1}}\omega(\mathbf e)</math> where Ο<sub>'''g'''</sub> is the [[Maurer-Cartan form]] for the group ''G'', here [[pullback (differential geometry)|pulled back]] to ''M'' along the function ''g'', and Ad is the [[adjoint representation]] of ''G'' on its Lie algebra.
