Feb 2, 2019 at 8:19 | comment | added | Michael Bächtold | I agree with @PraphullaKoushik. Simply put: he lifts of the two curves $t\mapsto \gamma(t)$ and $t\mapsto \gamma(1-t)$ are not the same (their images are), so the usual lift is already orientation dependent. | |
Jan 31, 2019 at 8:05 | comment | added | Praphulla Koushik | Given a curve $\gamma$ on $M$ and fixing a point $x$ in fibre of $\gamma(0)$, there exists a curve that starts at $x$. So, lift has starting point as $x$. Suppose you choose $t\mapsto \gamma(1-t)$, you fix a point $y$ in fibre of $\gamma(1)=\gamma(1-0)$, you get a lift whose starting point is $y$. This does not say horizantal lift of $\gamma(t)$ and $\gamma(1-t)$ are same if you are looking from orientation perspective. What is that I am misunderstanding in your question? | |
