In physics, general covariant transformations are symmetries of gravitation theory on a world manifold X {\displaystyle X}. They are gauge transformations whose parameter functions are vector fields on X {\displaystyle X}. From the physical viewpoint, general covariant transformations are treated as particular reference frame transformations in general relativity. In mathematics, general covariant transformations are defined as particular automorphisms of so-called natural fiber bundles.
