What is a "local" lorentz transformation of vielbein? How does it transform? I'm struggling with Anthony Zee's chapter on differential forms in Einstein Gravity in a Nutshell, page 600. He asks us to prove that $$\omega= \Lambda \omega' \Lambda^{-1} - (d\Lambda) \Lambda^{-1}$$ using $$e=\Lambda e'$$ and $$ de+ \omega e= 0.$$  I'm not sure what $ \Lambda $ is exactly. He describes it as not being a coordinate transform but merely a local Lorentz transform (or in euclidean space a rotation) of the orthonormal frame. I originally thought it was Infinitismal transform but now I'm thinking I can put in any Lorentz Transform. Everytime I start the calculation I get lost somewhere in the notation and I'm not sure if I'm even starting from the correct transform anyway.
 A: Well, this is linked to what the cotetrad $e_\mu^I$ is.
It is customary to present the cotetrad as a diagonalization of the metric and indeed, we have:
$$g_{\mu\nu} = e_\mu^I e_\nu^J \eta_{IJ}$$
Note here that the cotetrad has two kind of indices. The greek type corresponds to spacetime coordinates but the latin type indices are indices in the tangent space. So, in a way, the cotetrad is a natural basis for the metric.
The physical idea behind this is actually quite simple: the metric is always locally minkowskian. It takes this form (locally) in a free falling frame of reference. So given a metric, you can assign to each point a free-falling frame (described by the cotetrad) in which the metric is diagonal (and even minkowskian).
To be a bit more precise, the cotetrad is the inverse of the tetrad, usually noted $e_I^\mu$ (note the position of the indices - this is kind of a loose notation but it is standard). The tetrad is the collection of four vectors labelled by $I$ with coordinates labelled by $\mu$. These vectors are orthogonal and normed. One of them is timelike and corresponds to the normed tangent vector along the free-falling trajectory.
But when you do this, you have an arbitrary choice: there are an infinite amount of free-falling frames at a given point and they are linked together by Lorentz transformations. So at each point, you have possible Lorentz freedom. This is your local Lorentz transform: it relates the free-falling frames of reference at each point.
Back to the math now, your Lorentz transform will not act on the coordinates $\mu$, these are fixed here. It will act on the tangent space. So, writing down the indices, you have:
$${e'}_\mu^I(x) = \Lambda^I_{~J}(x) e_\mu^J(x)$$
With that you can conclude quite easily since the second equation defines $\omega_{\mu~J}^{~I}(x)$ as a connection.
