Parallelizable manifold
In mathematics, a differentiable manifold \scriptstyle M of dimension ''n'' is called parallelizable if there exist smooth vector fields
:\
on the manifold, such that at any point \scriptstyle p of \scriptstyle M the tangent vectors
:\
provide a basis of the tangent space at \scriptstyle p. Equivalently, the tangent bundle is a trivial bundle, so that the associated principal bundle of linear frames has a section on \scriptstyle M.
A particular choice of such a basis of vector fields on \scriptstyle M is called a parallelization (or an absolute parallelism) of \scriptstyle M.
==Examples==

*An example with ''n'' = 1 is the circle: we can take ''V''1 to be the unit tangent vector field, say pointing in the anti-clockwise direction. The torus of dimension ''n'' is also parallelizable, as can be seen by expressing it as a cartesian product of circles. For example, take ''n'' = 2, and construct a torus from a square of graph paper with opposite edges glued together, to get an idea of the two tangent directions at each point. More generally, any Lie group ''G'' is parallelizable, since a basis for the tangent space at the identity element can be moved around by the action of the translation group of ''G'' on ''G'' (any translation is a diffeomorphism and therefore these translations induce linear isomorphisms between tangent spaces of points in ''G'').
*A classical problem was to determine which of the spheres ''S''''n'' are parallelizable. The zero-dimensional case ''S''0 is trivially parallelizable. The case ''S''1 is the circle, which is parallelizable as has already been explained. The hairy ball theorem shows that ''S''2 is not parallelizable. However ''S''3 is parallelizable, since it is the Lie group SU(2). The only other parallelizable sphere is ''S''7; this was proved in 1958, by Michel Kervaire, and by Raoul Bott and John Milnor, in independent work. The parallelizable spheres correspond precisely to elements of unit norm in the normed division algebras of the real numbers, complex numbers, quaternions, and octonions, which allows one to construct a parallelism for each. Proving that other spheres are not parallelizable is more difficult, and requires algebraic topology.
*The product of parallelizable manifolds is parallelizable.
*Any orientable three-dimensional manifold is parallelizable.
