Also known as the a Lorentz transformation or Procrustian stretch, a hyperbolic transformation leaves each branch of the hyperbola x^'y^'=xy invariant and transforms circles ...

In space, the only conformal mappings are inversions, similarity transformations, and congruence transformations. Or, restated, every angle-preserving transformation is a ...

A Lorentz tensor is any quantity which transforms like a tensor under the homogeneous Lorentz transformation.

A natural transformation Phi={Phi_C:F(C)->D(C)} between functors F,G:C->D of categories C and D is said to be a natural isomorphism if each of the components is an ...

A fixed point of a linear transformation for which the rescaled variables satisfy (delta-alpha)^2+4betagamma=0.

A real vector space is a vector space whose field of scalars is the field of reals. A linear transformation between real vector spaces is given by a matrix with real entries ...

A transformation in which all points along a given line L remain fixed while other points are shifted parallel to L by a distance proportional to their perpendicular distance ...

A transformation characterized by an invariant line and a scale factor (one-way stretch) or two invariant lines and corresponding scale factors (two-way stretch).

The numbers of eigenvalues that are positive, negative, or 0 do not change under a congruence transformation. Gradshteyn and Ryzhik (2000) state it as follows: when a ...

Symmetric points are preserved under a Möbius transformation. The Schwarz reflection principle is sometimes called the symmetry principle (Needham 2000, p. 252).
