Abstract: In this paper we discuss the dynamic effects of the varying frames. The differential of frame or basis vectors is always equivalent to a linear transformation of the frame, and the linear transformation is not the same in different contexts. In differential geometry, the linear transformation is the connection operator. While in quantum mechanics, the operator algebra corresponds to the differentials of matrices. Corresponding to the variation of the metric, the variation of the frame contains a unusual fourth-order tensor. We also derive the Lie differential of the frame corresponding to the Lorentz transformation group. The definition of differential of the frame is different, so the corresponding linear transformation is also different. In this paper, the unified point of view to deal with the variation of frame or basis vectors will bring great convenience to the research and application of Clifford algebras.
