Abstract

Constructing the generalized superluminal Lorentz transformations for inertial frames with nonpreferred orientation, we have investigated their group theoretical and commutation properties. The extended homogeneous Lorentz group in terms of these transformations has been constructed and its generators have been derived; these have been shown to generate the ray representation of the resulting Poincaré group.
