Abstract

In this work, connection formulas and forms of an orthonormal frame field in the Minkowski space were introduced and then the variation of connection forms was studied. In addition, the relation between the matrix of connection forms and the transition matrix of an orthonormal basis of tangent space were established, and an example was illustrated.
