Most tensors become simple or even trivial in this coordinate system; thus the complexity of most expressions is revealed to

Changing tetrads is a routine operation in the standard formalism, as it is involved in every coordinate transformation (i.e., changing from one coordinate tetrad basis to another). Switching between multiple coordinate charts is necessary because, except in trivial cases, it is not possible for a

The manipulation with tetrad coefficients shows that abstract index formulas can, in principle, be obtained from tensor formulas with respect to a coordinate tetrad by "replacing greek by latin indices". However care must be taken that a coordinate tetrad formula defines a genuine tensor when

All tensors of the theory can be expressed in the vector and covector basis, by expressing them as linear combinations of members of the (co)vielbein. For example, the spacetime metric tensor can be transformed from a coordinate basis to the

sites such that the higher dimensional metric is replaced by a set of interacting metrics that depend only on the 4D components. Vielbeins commonly appear in other general settings in physics and mathematics. Vielbeins can be understood as

The advantage of the tetrad formalism over the standard coordinate-based approach to general relativity lies in the ability to choose the tetrad basis to reflect important physical aspects of the spacetime. The

In the tetrad formalism, instead of writing tensor equations out fully (including tetrad elements and 1778: 2110: 356: 4750: 4204: 3008: 2794: 877: 4447: 2102: 1770: 510: 1310: 1575: 794: 1007: 4109: 3245: 1144: 656: 696: 1043: 397: 3739: 1431: 1175: 831: 3250: 1353: 723: 3402: 4783: 4643: 4553: 4497: 3769: 3414: 2491: 1387: 4524: 3696: 2536: 2528: 137: 4807: 4663: 4613: 4593: 4573: 4467: 4376: 3665: 3638: 1330: 1167: 924: 904: 441: 417: 291: 271: 111: 4215: 4020:{\displaystyle e^{-X}de^{X}=dX^{i}e_{i}-{\frac {1}{2!}}X^{i}dX^{j}{f_{ij}}^{k}e_{k}+{\frac {1}{3!}}X^{i}X^{j}dX^{k}{f_{jk}}^{l}{f_{il}}^{m}e_{m}-\cdots } 2778:{\displaystyle R_{\ \nu \sigma \tau }^{\mu }=dx^{\mu }\left((\nabla _{\sigma }\nabla _{\tau }-\nabla _{\tau }\nabla _{\sigma })\partial _{\nu }\right).} 2384: 423:
