Active Lorentz transformation of a vector field

An active transformation keeps the coordinate argument fixed and changes a contravariant vector field by A′μ(x)=Λμν​Aν(Λ−1x). Infinitesimally, δAμ=αωμν​Aν−αωρσ​xσ∂ρ​Aμ. For a Lorentz scalar density, the spin-index term is absent, giving δL=−αωρσ​xσ∂ρ​L.
