Graduate Proving invariance of scalar product
I figured out the proof for the four-vectors. Now I see the similarity between that and the rotation proof. Turns out I was using the wrong transformation formulas for my vectors and that's why things didn't add up. Thanks for your help!- Gabor

Graduate Proving invariance of scalar product
Okay... I could do that for 2 vectors (x1, x2) and (y1, y2) in a plane. As for the four-vector proof, I'm not even sure I'm doing it right... My understanding is that I have to take the scalar product of the two vectors A and B. Then I have to apply Lorentz transform to both vectors and...- Gabor

Graduate Proving invariance of scalar product
Hi everyone, How would I go about proving that the scalar product of two four-vectors (A,B) is invariant under a Lorentz transformation?- Gabor
