Casimir invariant: Minkowski bilinear form on I4 → ℝ #

Signature (1,3): 1 positive from φψ = -1, 3 negative from ζ₆ compact structure.

Minkowski bilinear form B(v,w) = v ⬝ᵥ (η *ᵥ w)

    Infinitesimal Lorentz invariance: B(Av, w) + B(v, Aw) = 0

    φ-Dilation as Translation in Log-Coordinates #

    φ-scaling z → φz is multiplicative. In log-coordinates t = log z, it becomes additive translation t → t + log φ. This establishes the translation symmetry needed for the Poincaré group.

    exp conjugacy: φ-scaling = translation by log φ in log-coordinates

    Iterated φ-scaling = translation by n·log φ

    Translation vector: log φ in the μ-th direction of I4

    Equations
    Instances For

      The 4 translation vectors span I4 → ℝ (linearly independent)

      φ-dilation corresponds to translation in the Poincaré group
