Question:

An infinitesimal Lorentz transformation and its inverse can be written as

image

where ??? and ??? are infinitesimal.

(a) Show from the definition of the inverse that ??? = ? ??? .

(b) Show from the preservation of the norm that ??? = ? ??? .

(c) By writing the transformation in terms of contravariant components on both sides of the equation, show that ??? is equivalent to the matrix L (11.93).
