A vector space $\mathfrak{g}$ over some field $F$ and kitted with a bilinear, antisymmetric and Jacobi-identity-fulfilling product ("Lie Bracket" or "commutator"). In physics, most often arises as the Lie algebra (tangent space to the identity) of a Lie group; in gauge theories, basis vectors of the gauge group's Lie algebra correspond to Noether currents and conserved quantities.

Generators of Poincare Groups
How can I determine the generators of the Poincare Group, $P(1,3)$ explicitly?
Here $P(1,3)$ means a matrix Lie group.

Number of the Generators of Poincare Group
It is said that the Poincare group, $P(3,1)$ has $10$ generators. $6$ of them are the generators of the Lorentz group, $O(3,1)$ and the other $4$ generators are the generators of $4D$ translational gr …

Rotation Group and Lorentz Group
It is often stated that rotations in the 3 spatial dimensions are examples of Lorentz transformations.
But Lorentz transformations form a group named the Lorentz Group, $O(1,3)$ which is a group a $ …

$(1/2, 0)$ representation of the Lorentz Group $SO(1,3)$
Let us consider the $(j, j') = \left(\frac{1}{2}, 0\right)$ representation of $SO(1, 3)\cong SU(2) \otimes SU(2)$.
$j = \frac{1}{2}$ corresponds to $SU(2)$ generated by
$$ \tag{1} N_i^+ = \frac{1} …

Poincare Generators in terms of Position and Momentum
The $10$ generators of the Poincare group $P(1;3)$ are $M^{\mu\nu}$ and $P^\mu$. These generators can be determined explicitly in the matrix form. However, I have found that $M^{\mu\nu}$ and $P^\mu$ a …

Number of Parameters of Lorentz Group
We embed the rotation group, $SO(3)$ into the Lorentz group, $O(1,3)$ : $SO(3) \hookrightarrow O(1,3)$ and then determine the six generators of Lorentz group: $J_x, J_y, J_z, K_x, K_y, K_z$ from the r …

Verification of the Poincare Algebra
The generators of the Poincare group $P(1;3)$ are supposed to obey the following commutation relation to be verified:
$$\left[ M^{\mu\nu}, P^{\rho} \right] = i \left(g^{\nu\rho} P^{\mu} - g^{\mu\rho} …
