Abstract

We explicit and clarify better the contraction method that Bacry and Levy-Leblond\cite{jmll} used to link all the kinematical Lie groups. Firstly, we use the kinematical parameters: the speed cc of light, the radius rr of the universe and the period τ\tau of the universe constrained by r=cτr=c\tau. Secondly, we use the dynamical parameters that are mass mm, energy E0E_0 and compliance CC. The kinematical and the dynamical parameters are related by the three relations c2=E0mc^2=\frac{E_0}{m}, τ2=mC\tau^2=mC and r2=CE0r^2=CE_0. For each kinematical Lie algebra, we express the associated physical quantities in function of these dynamical parameters.
