(mathematics, relativity) A quantity that does not change due to a Lorentz transformation; a quantity that is independent of the inertial frame.

plural of Lorentz gauge

plural of Lorentz transformation

(electromagnetism) the force exerted on a charged particle in an electromagnetic field

(physics) a factor arising frequently in special relativity, to calculate the degree of time dilation, length contraction and relativistic mass of an object moving relative to an observer, defined as (1-v²/c²)^(-0.5), where v and c are relative velocity and the speed of light, respectively

Synonym of Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction

(physics) the invariance of the laws of physics under the Lorentz transformation.

(physics, mathematics) The group of all Lorentz transformations in spacetime.

(mathematics, relativity) A transformation relating the spacetime coordinates of one frame of reference to another in special relativity.

(electromagnetism) A partial gauge fixing of the electromagnetic vector potential, used to eliminate the redundant spin-0 component in the (1/2,1/2) representation of the Lorentz group.
