Schild's ladder

In the theory of general relativity, and differential geometry more generally, Schild's ladder is a first-order method for ''approximating'' parallel transport of a vector along a curve using only affinely parametrized geodesics. The method is named for Alfred Schild, who introduced the method during lectures at Princeton University.
== Construction ==

The idea is to identify a tangent vector ''x'' at a point A_0 with a geodesic segment of unit length A_0X_0, and to construct an approximate parallelogram with approximately parallel sides A_0X_0 and A_1X_1 as an approximation of the Levi-Civita parallelogramoid; the new segment A_1X_1 thus corresponds to an approximately parallel translated tangent vector at A_1.
Formally, consider a curve γ through a point ''A''0 in a Riemannian manifold ''M'', and let ''x'' be a tangent vector at ''A''0. Then ''x'' can be identified with a geodesic segment ''A''0''X''0 via the exponential map. This geodesic σ satisfies
:\sigma(0)=A_0\,
:\sigma'(0) = x.\,
The steps of the Schild's ladder construction are:
* Let ''X''0 = σ(1), so the geodesic segment A_0X_0 has unit length.
* Now let ''A''1 be a point on γ close to ''A''0, and construct the geodesic ''X''0''A''1.
* Let ''P''1 be the midpoint of ''X''0''A''1 in the sense that the segments ''X''0''P''1 and ''P''1''A''1 take an equal affine parameter to traverse.
* Construct the geodesic ''A''0''P''1, and extend it to a point ''X''1 so that the parameter length of ''A''0''X''1 is double that of ''A''0''P''1.
* Finally construct the geodesic ''A''1''X''1. The tangent to this geodesic ''x''1 is then the parallel transport of ''X''0 to ''A''1, at least to first order.
