Abstract
In this paper, we continue the study of the Killing symmetries of an N-dimensional generalized Minkowski space, i.e., a space endowed with a ( in general non-diagonal) metric tensor, whose coefficients do depend on a set of non-metrical coordinates. We discuss here the finite structure of the space - time rotations in such spaces, by con. ning ourselves ( without loss of generality) to the four-dimensional case. In particular, the results obtained are specialized to the case of a "deformed" Minkowski space (M) over tilde (4) (i.e., a pseudoeuclidean space with metric coefficients depending on energy), for which we derive the explicit general form of the finite rotations and boosts in different parametric bases.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
