Complex special linear group in dimension two ($SL(2,\mathbb{C})$)

Complex two-by-two matrices of determinant one form a complex three-dimensional Lie group, or a real six-dimensional Lie group. Their congruence action on Hermitian two-by-two matrices gives the Lorentz spinor double cover with kernel $\{I,-I\}$. The two Weyl spinor representations are $A$ and $(A^{†}{)}^{-1}$. Treating the group as real is essential for the second, antiholomorphic representation.
