Abstract

The space of nn-dimensional relativistic velocities normalized to c=1c = 1, B={vRn ⁣:v<1},\mathbb{B} = \{\mathbf{v}\in\mathbb{R}^n\colon \|\mathbf{v}\| < 1\}, is naturally associated with Einstein velocity addition E\oplus_E, which induces the rapidity metric dEd_E on B\mathbb{B} given by dE(u,v)=tanh1uEvd_E(\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}) = \tanh^{-1}\|-\mathbf{u}\oplus_E\mathbf{v}\|. This metric is also known as the Cayley-Klein metric. We give a complete description of the isometry group of (B,dE)(\mathbb{B}, d_E), along with its composition law.
