Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the history and understanding of the "ortocrone group," with participants exploring its relation to the orthochronous Lorentz group. The scope includes conceptual clarification and potential historical context.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant notes a lack of information on the "ortocrone" term, finding only a limited number of results online, primarily in Spanish.
  • Another participant expresses unfamiliarity with the "ortocrone group" and suggests it may relate to the orthochronous Lorentz group, indicating a possible linguistic connection.
  • A third participant provides a link to a document that may contain relevant information, suggesting it pertains to the orthochronous subgroup of the Lorentz group.
  • A later reply clarifies that the term "ortocrone" might be a misspelling and recommends searching for "orthochronous" instead.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the existence or definition of the "ortocrone group," and multiple interpretations and suggestions are presented without resolution.

Contextual Notes

There is uncertainty regarding the correct terminology and its implications, as well as the historical context of the term "ortocrone." The discussion relies on the assumption that the term may be a linguistic variation.

When I searched "ortocrone" with google, I found only 93 results. Most of all results were Spanish. Now I wonder history of ortocrone group.

I've never heard of an ortocrone group. The spelling makes me think of the orthochronous Lorentz group, the first word of which may be ortocrone in Spanish. Where did you see this?
 
That looks like the orthochronous subgroup of the Lorentz group, so you should probably google "orthochronous" instead of "ortocrone".
