Let

In sector coordinates define

and

Direct multiplication gives

They have determinant one and positive time orientation.

For a face in sector , use the following affine coordinate changes from the cut-space reference coordinates:

Here . The same symbol for a sector rotation and a collar face is distinguished by context: is a matrix expression, whereas denotes a cell.

These charts are used on the regular part of the spacetime. Their formulas extend to face closures, but no claim is made that the cone apex has a regular affine neighbourhood.
