What is Understanding the Lorentz Group about?
The Lorentz group O(3,1) consists of linear transformations that leave invariant the Minkowski inner product between four-vectors. It satisfies the condition LTηL = η, where η is the diagonal Minkowski metric. This implies that determinants of Lorentz transformations must be ±1. The proper Lorentz group SO(3,1) has determinant 1. Its Lie algebra can be written in terms of infinitesimal rotation generators J and boost generators K, which satisfy commutation relations that form the Lie algebra of the Lorentz
