It is a well known fact that the Lorentz group of transfornations are linear.
Now reading the wiki entry on the LG it spends a good deal explaining its identity component subgroup, the restricted LG group, and it turns out it is isomorphic to the linear fractional transformation group, which are non-linear transformations, now my doubt
(it might be silly) is how can a subgroup of linear transformations be nonlinear?
