The Role in Symmetry Transformations
Infinitesimal Parameters are central to the formulation of continuous symmetry groups, such as the Lorentz Group and the Poincaré Group. When a physical system possesses an invariance under a continuous transformation $T(\epsilon)$, the transformation operator $T$ can be expanded as a Taylor series around the identity element $T(0) = I$:
$$ T(\epsilon) = I + \epsilo…
