Parametric Realization of the Lorentz Transformation Group in Pseudo-Euclidean Spaces
Abstract
The Lorentz transformation group is a group of Lorentz transformations of order , that is, a group of special linear transformations in a pseudo-Euclidean space of signature that leave the pseudo-Euclidean inner product invariant. A parametrization of is presented, giving rise to the composition law of Lorentz transformations of order in terms of parameter composition. The parameter composition, in turn, gives rise to a novel group-like structure called a bi-gyrogroup. Bi-gyrogroups form a natural generalization of gyrogroups where the latter form a natural generalization of groups. Like the abstract gyrogroup, the abstract bi-gyrogroup can play a universal computational role which extends far beyond the domain of pseudo-Euclidean spaces.
