10.2 Lie Algebra

The Lie algebra $ \mathrm{\mathfrak{sim}}(3)$ has seven generators:


$\displaystyle G_{1}={\scriptstyle \left(\begin{array}{ccc\vert c}
0 & 0 & 0 & 1\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
\hline 0 & 0 & 0 & 0
\end{array}\right)},$ $\displaystyle G_{2}={\scriptstyle \left(\begin{array}{ccc\vert c}
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 1\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
\hline 0 & 0 & 0 & 0
\end{array}\right)},$ $\displaystyle G_{3}={\scriptstyle \left(\begin{array}{ccc\vert c}
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 1\\
\hline 0 & 0 & 0 & 0
\end{array}\right)}$ (132)
$\displaystyle G_{4}={\scriptstyle \left(\begin{array}{ccc\vert c}
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\
0 & -1 & 0 & 0\\
\hline 0 & 0 & 0 & 0
\end{array}\right)},$ $\displaystyle G_{5}={\scriptstyle \left(\begin{array}{ccc\vert c}
0 & 0 & -1 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
\hline 0 & 0 & 0 & 0
\end{array}\right)},$ $\displaystyle G_{6}={\scriptstyle \left(\begin{array}{ccc\vert c}
0 & 1 & 0 & 0\\
-1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
\hline 0 & 0 & 0 & 0
\end{array}\right)},$ (133)
    $\displaystyle G_{7}={\scriptstyle \left(\begin{array}{ccc\vert c}
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
