Homogeneous Spaces of the Lorentz Group
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a classification, up to isomorphisms, of all the homogeneous spaces of the Lorentz group with dimension lower than six. At the same time, we classify, up to conjugation, all the non-discrete closed subgroup of the Lorentz group and all the subalgebras of the Lorentz Lie algebra. We also study the covariant mappings between some pairs of homogeneous spaces. This exercise is done without any claim of originality, but with the hope of providing a useful instrument for the investigation of the Lorentz transformation properties of some physical quantities.

From the Lorentz Transformation Group in Pseudo-Euclidean Spaces to Bi-gyrogroups
The Lorentz transformation of order $(m=1,n)$, $ninNb$, is the well-known Lorentz transformation of special relativity theory. It is a transformation of time-space coordinates of the pseudo-Euclidean space $Rb^{m=1,n}$ of one time dimension and $n$ space dimensions ($n=3$ in physical applications). A Lorentz transformation without rotations is called a {it boost}. Commonly, the ...

Let be a locally compact non?abelian group and be a compact subgroup of also let be a ?invariant measure on the homogeneous space . In this article, we extend the linear operator as a bounded surjective linear operator for all ?spaces with . As an application of this extension, we show that each frame for determines a frame for and each frame for arises from a frame in via...
متن کاملBi-Gyrogroup: The Group-Like Structure Induced by Bi-Decomposition of Groups
The decomposition $Gamma=BH$ of a group $Gamma$ into a subset B and a subgroup $H$ of $Gamma$ induces, under general conditions, a group-like structure for B, known as a gyrogroup. The famous concrete realization of a gyrogroup, which motivated the emergence of gyrogroups into the mainstream, is the space of all relativistically admissible velocities along with a binary mbox{...
متن کاملRepresentations of Quantum Lorentz Group on Gelfand Spaces
A large class of representations of the quantum Lorentz group QLG (the one admitting Iwasawa decomposition) is found and described in detail. In a sense the class contains all irreducible unitary representations of QLG. Parabolic subgroup P of the group QLG is introduced. It is a smooth deformation of the subgroup of SL(2,C) consisting of the upper-triangular matrices. A description of the set ...

We study a family of 3-dimensional Lorentz manifolds. Some members of the family are 0-curvature homogeneous, 1-affine curvature homogeneous , but not 1-curvature homogeneous. Some are 1-curvature homogeneous but not 2-curvature homogeneous. All are 0-modeled on indecomposible local symmetric spaces. Some of the members of the family are geodesically complete, others are not. All have vanishing...
