Poincaré group
The group
Poincaré symmetry is the full symmetry of special relativity. It includes:
- translations (displacements) in time and space, forming the Abelian Lie group of translations on space-time;
- rotations in space, forming the non-Abelian Lie group of three-dimensional rotations;
- boosts, or Lorentz transformations connecting two uniformly moving observers.
It substituted the Galilean group
