      JSci.maths.algebras.so3_1Dim4

public final class so3_1Dim4

extends LieAlgebra

The so3_1Dim4 class encapsulates so(3,1) algebras using the 4 dimensional (fundamental) representation. Elements are represented by vectors with a matrix basis.

Method Summary

AbstractComplexSquareMatrix[]	basis() Returns the basis used to represent the Lie algebra.
AbstractComplexSquareMatrix	getElement(AbstractDoubleVector v) Returns an element as a matrix (vector*basis).
static so3_1Dim4	getInstance() Singleton.
AbstractDoubleVector	multiply(AbstractDoubleVector a, AbstractDoubleVector b) Returns the Lie bracket (commutator) of two elements.
