In this section we fix some notations and give a definition of an area measure on a differentiate manifold, where throughout the paper the word differentiable implies differentiability of class C∞. Let M denote a differentiate manifold of dimension n and call a set of m linearly independent vectors {e1, … , em} at a point of M an m-frame of M. The set E′ of all such m-frames can be given the structure of a differentiable fibre bundle over M and we denote the projection of E' onto M by π′.
