Lorentz group

In physics and mathematics, the Lorentz group is the group of all Lorentz transformations of Minkowski spacetime, the classical and quantum setting for all (non-gravitational) physical phenomena. The Lorentz group is named for the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz. For example, the following laws, equations, and theories respect Lorentz symmetry: * The kinematical laws of special relativity * Maxwell's field equations in the theory of electromagnetism * The Dirac equation in the theory of the electron * The Standard Model of particle physics The Lorentz group expresses the fundamental symmetry of space and time of all known fundamental laws of nature. In small enough regions of spacetime where gravitational variances are negligible, physical laws are Lorentz invariant in the same manner as special relativity. (Wikipedia).

What is the Lorentz Transformation?

What is the Lorentz Transformation? It is a tool we use to relate the different experiences of different observers in special relativity. It is also one of the defining features of special relativity and what differentiates it from Galilean relativity. In this video, we will derive the Lor

Group Definition (expanded) - Abstract Algebra

The group is the most fundamental object you will study in abstract algebra. Groups generalize a wide variety of mathematical sets: the integers, symmetries of shapes, modular arithmetic, NxM matrices, and much more. After learning about groups in detail, you will then be ready to contin

Visit http://ilectureonline.com for more math and science lectures! In this video I will list how the Lorentz factor, gamma, changes as velocity moves from closer and closer to the speed of light (from 0.1c to 0.999999c). The Lorentz factor is a factor that is multiplied to time, mass, an

Relativity's key concept: Lorentz gamma

Einstein’s theory of special relativity is one of the most counterintuitive ideas in physics, for instance, moving clocks record time differently than stationary ones. Central to all of the equations of relativity is the Lorentz factor, also known as gamma. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. D

Symmetric Groups (Abstract Algebra)

Symmetric groups are some of the most essential types of finite groups. A symmetric group is the group of permutations on a set. The group of permutations on a set of n-elements is denoted S_n. Symmetric groups capture the history of abstract algebra, provide a wide range of examples in

Lecture 02 | From Particles to Fields

In this lecture, I introduce states describing any number of particles and define operators acting on these states. I argue that causality requires that the theory be written in terms of "observables," local Hermitian operators that commute at spacelike positions. This leads us to a theory
