Lorentz boost ($t^{\prime }=\gamma (t-vx),x^{\prime }=\gamma (x-vt)$)

A Lorentz boost relates inertial frames moving at a constant relative velocity without an additional spatial rotation. In units with light speed one, the displayed transformation preserves $t^2-x^2$, with Lorentz factor $\gamma =(1-v^2{)}^{-1/2}$. Applying it to a static classical field-theory soliton produces a uniformly moving solution in a Lorentz-invariant theory.
