Do hyperbolic rotations of euclidian space and ordinary rotations of euclidian space form a group?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Yes, the ordinary rotations form a group called ##SO(n)##. The hyperbolic rotations also form a group, that's apparently called ##SO^+(1,1)##.
 
No I meant, can they form a group together. Can they be put in the same group? Just like how Lorentz boosts and rotations are combined into the Lorentz group?
