Minkowski space
It is the space
This space with this pseudo-metric is called Minkowski space, and can be also denoted by
The role of spheres in
The Minkowski space is a homogeneous space
Some isometries of
It is a particular case of a relativistic spacetime of general relativity, see this for the formulation.
Relation of Minkowski plane and hyperbolic plane
In the note Elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic geometry it is shown that the three constant curvature models (including hyperbolic geometry) can be achieved within
In this link there is a good answer to this question. It gives a similar idea than in Elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic geometry, but includes a idea of the stereographic projection of the hyperboloid, which is very interesting.
When we make this stereographic projection we obtain the Poincare disk. And I guess that the elements of
I have to think if this has to do with what is said at Moebius transformations#Relation to Special Relativity. Basically: Moebius transformations are the Lorentz transformations.
