On invariance functions in Relativity Theory

Juan Hector Arredondo, J. Chargoy-Corona

Abstract


A new result for equivariant functions in terms of invariant functions in the case of Minkowski space is given. This generalizes the work of Hall and Wightman in the sense that only equivariance is required. In particular, it implies the possibility of defining physical magnitudes independently of the choice of the coordinate system, like the center of mass for relativistic particles.


Keywords


Lorentz group; Invariant function; equivariant function.
