Lorentz group
In physics and mathematics, the Lorentz group is the group of all Lorentz transformations of Minkowski spacetime, the classical setting for all (nongravitational) physical phenomena. The Lorentz group is named for the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz.Under the Lorentz transformations, these laws and equations are invariant: The kinematical laws of special relativity Maxwell's field equations in the theory of electromagnetism The Dirac equation in the theory of the electronTherefore, the Lorentz group expresses the fundamental symmetry of many known fundamental laws of nature.
