Show affiliationsThe principal properties of geodesic normal coordinates are the vanishing of the connection components and first derivatives of the metric components at some point. It is well known that these hold only at points where the connection has vanishing torsion and non-metricity. However, it is shown that normal frames, possessing the essential features of normal coordinates, can still be constructed when the connection is non-Riemannian.
