Let L(M) be the bundle of all linear frames over $M,\;u$ an arbitrarily given point of L(M), and ${\nabla}\;:\;\mathfrak{X}(M)\;{\times}\;\mathfrak{X}(M)\;\rightarrow\;\mathfrak{X}(M)$ a linear connection on L(M). Then the following results are well known: the horizontal subspace and the connection form at the point $u$ may be written in terms of local coordinates of $u\;{\epsilon}\;L(M)$ and Christoffel's symbols defined by $\nabla$. These results are very fundamental on the study of the theory of connections. In this paper we show that the local expressions of those at the point $u$ do not depend on the choice of a local coordinate system around the point $u\;{\epsilon}\;L(M)$, which is rarely seen. Moreover we give full explanations for the following fact: the covariant derivative on M which is defined by the parallelism on L(M), determined from the connection form above, coincides with $\nabla$.

Let L(M) be the bundle of all linear frames over a smooth manifold M, $u$ an arbitrarily given point of L(M), and ${\nabla}:\mathfrak{X}(M){\times}\mathfrak{X}(M){\rightarrow}\mathfrak{X}(M)$ a linear connection on M. Then the following result is well known: the horizontal subspace at the point $u$ may be written in terms of local coordinates of $u{\in}L(M)$ and Christoel's symbols defined by ${\nabla}$. This result is very fundamental on the study of the theory of connections. In this paper we show that the local expression of the horizontal subspace at the point u does not depend on the choice of a local coordinate system around the point $u{\in}L(M)$, which is rarely seen.

The (affine) development of a smooth curve in a smooth manifold M with respect to an arbitrarily given affine connection in the bundle of affine frames over M is well known (cf. S.Kobayashi and K.Nomizu, Foundations of Differential Geometry, Vol.1). In this paper, we get the generalized affine development of a smooth curve $x_t$ ($t{\in}[0,1]$) in M into the affine tangent space at $x_0$ (${\in}M$) with respect to a given generalized affine connection in the bundle of affine frames over M.

We get a necessary and sufficient condition for a generalized affine connection in the affine orthonormal frame bundle over a smooth manifold (M, g) to be a Yang-Mills connection.

Let ${\phi}$ be a map of a manifold M into another manifold N, L(N) the bundle of all linear frames over N, and ${\phi}^{-1}$(L(N)) the bundle over M which is induced from ${\phi}$ and L(N). Then, we construct a structure equation for the torsion form in ${\phi}^{-1}$(L(N)) which is induced from a torsion form in L(N).
