Commutations and Variations
This is a technical chapter: in the first part, following [58], we compute commutation rules for covariant derivatives of functions, of vector fields, and of the geometric tensors introduced in Chapter 1, exploiting the moving frame method.

Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer (1912–1967) was a selftaught Catalan mathematician who, in spite of a serious physical disability, was very active in research in classical mathematical analysis, an area in which he acquired international recognition. His heirs created the Fundaci´o Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer inside the Institut d’Estudis Catalans to honor the memory of Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer and to promote mathematical research. Each year, the Fundaci´o Ferran Sunyer
