Thank you for your detailed explanation, I think the point with gravitation is clear now. I also have understood that a force is a generator of Lorentz transformations provided it does not change the mass of the particle it acts upon, but I've still got some doubts: according to Wikipedia, the...

I see. So, for instance, a "gravitational field tensor" (I don't know if this is used in some existing theory) would also be anti-symmetric?

That is, including gravity? Isn't the Einstein tensor in general relativity symmetric? Could you give another example of correlations between forces and Lorentz boosts?

In special relativity, the electromagnetic field is represented by the tensor $$F^{\mu\nu} = \begin{pmatrix}0 & -E_{x} & -E_{y} & -E_{z}\\ E_{x} & 0 & -B_{z} & B_{y}\\ E_{y} & B_{z} & 0 & -B_{x}\\ E_{z} & -B_{y} & B_{x} & 0 \end{pmatrix}$$ which is an anti-symmetric matrix. Recalling the...

Hi there! I'm a physics undergraduate student. I'm mainly focused on theoretical physics and mathematics, but I'm interested in a little bit of everything.
