Kosmann lift

In differential geometry, the Kosmann lift,[1][2] named after Yvette Kosmann-Schwarzbach, of a vector field on a Riemannian manifold is the canonical projection on the orthonormal frame bundle of its natural lift defined on the bundle of linear frames.[3]

Generalisations exist for any given reductive G-structure.
