Rotations on a lightcone in minkowski 3-Space

Abstract

In this paper the generalization of the rotations on any lightcone in Minkowski 3-space ℝ1,2𝑔 is given. The rotation motion on the lightcone is examined by means of a bilinear form and Lorentzian notions. We use the corresponding Rodrigues and Cayley formulas and benefit from the hyperbolic split quaternion product to obtain the corresponding rotation matrix.
