Derivative of the Exponential map explained

165 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to understand how to interpret the derivative of the exponential map in terms of the Jacobi field? Define the map $$ f(x):Exp_p(x), $$ where the Riemannian manifold is on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a non-Euclidean Riemannian metric making it geodesically complete.
Is there a nice expression for it's gradient?
