Let be a -manifold with a Riemannian conformal structure . Given a regular curve on , the authors define a linear operator on the space of (differentiable) vector fields along , only depending on , called the Fermi-Walker connection along . Then, the authors introduce the concept of Fermi-Walker parallel vector field along , proving that such vector fields set up a linear space isomorphic to the tangent space at a point of . This allows to consider the Fermi-Walker horizontal lift of...
