Rotation and boost commutators with a fixed metric signature

ID: rotation-and-boost-commutators-with-a-fixed-metric-signature

For the Lorentz algebra convention , choose , , , , and . The resulting rotation bracket is as well as the two displayed brackets. Changing the Minkowski metric signature while holding this generator convention fixed reverses all coefficients. A simultaneous redefinition of the generators can instead preserve the familiar form. Conventions must be specified before comparing algebra signs.
