The spinor Lorentz matrices preserve the indefinite form defined by : . This follows from the gamma-matrix adjoint identities for infinitesimal generators and extends to finite connected transformations. Consequently the Dirac adjoint transforms with , even though a boost matrix is not ordinarily unitary.
