====== Translation Group ====== Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party. The group of translations is always equivalent to the space we are considering. So if we are dealing with objects in $\mathbb{R}^3$ the translation group is $\mathbb{R}^3$. If we consider objects in Minkowski space $\mathbb{R}^{3,1}$, the group of translations is $\mathbb{R}^{3,1}$. {{ :advanced_tools:group_theory:translation_operator.png?nolink |}} The motto in this section is: //the higher the level of abstraction, the better//.
