Cosmic lorentz transformation

International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 1986
The Lorentz transformations in special relativity are derived from the invariance of \(x^ 2+y^ 2+z^ 2-c^ 2t^ 2\), which results from the principle of relativity and from the constancy of the speed of light. In the present paper the author investigates a mathematically similar situation in cosmology resulting from the invariance of a certain quantity ...

Improper Lorentz Transformations

Physical Review, 1958
The irreducible representations of the extended Lorentz group, including the space- and time-like reflections, are discussed. It is shown that there exist certain representations (up to the sign) which can be used to describe a particle with two states of opposite parity.

The Lorentz Transformation

Nature, 1953
ON the basis of rather less restrictive postulates concerning the behaviour of light than are customary in special relativity theory, Capildeo has recently1 given the transformation equations connecting two frames of reference S and S′ (with suitably oriented axes) in uniform ...

Lorentz Transformation

American Journal of Physics, 1968
A simple-straightforward derivation of the most general form of the homogeneous Lorentz transformation is presented. In the process, the well-known decomposition of a generic element of the group into two pure rotations and a “one-dimensional” Lorentz transformation is obtained in a physically obvious manner.

The Lorentz transformation

2021
Abstract“The Lorentz transformation” derives the Lorentz transformation by an unusual route, from application of simple postulates: space is uniform and isotropic; inertial frames exist; physics is invariant under a change between inertial frames. The speed of light is an invariant, but this property is input last.

Generalized Lorentz transformations

Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras, 1999
The author introduces a real matrix representation of the Dirac algebra built of \( 4\times 4\) block matrices each element of which belongs to \(\text{ SO}(4)\). The standard space-time metric used is \( \text{ diag}(-1,1,1,1)\). The main purpose is to offer a concrete matrix realization of relevant physical actions and to define generalized Lorentz ...

Vector Lorentz Transformations

American Journal of Physics, 1967
A derivation of the vector Lorentz transformation is given by explicitly compounding the pure Lorentz transformation along one spatial axis with pure spatial rotations. The orthogonal matrix is found which expresses the spatial rotation produced by two successive vector Lorentz transformations and is applied to the Thomas precession of an accelerated ...
