The subgroup of these objects that is connected to the identity is doubly covered by the group SL(2,C)
The subgroup of these objects that is connected to the identity is doubly covered by the group SL(2,C) ("S-L-2-comma-C"). That subgroup of these objects is called "proper orthochronous" ("or-THOK-ruh-nuss"). Applying two of these non-commutative objects in succession generates a Wigner rotation, and doing so continuously generates Thomas precession. Combining these objects with the set of translations yields the Poincaré ("pwann-kah-RAY") group, and on their own they form the group SO(3,1) ("S-O-3-comma-1"). When these objects implement a boost, their (0,0) ("zero-comma-zero") component equals one over the square root of one minus v-squared over c-squared, a namesake "factor" that is symbolized gamma. For 10 points, name these matrices that transform between relativistic reference frames in Minkowski space, which are named for a Dutch physicist.
