- | The picture below shows the weight diagrams of some important irreducible representations of the (double cover of the) Lorentz group (right) and, for comparison, some irreducible representations of $SU(2)$ (left). For a more detailed explanation of this picture see [[https://esackinger.wordpress.com/|Fun with Symmetry]]. | + | The picture below shows the weight diagrams of some important irreducible representations of the (double cover of the) Lorentz group (right) and, for comparison, some irreducible representations of $SU(2)$ (left).

- | The following diagram illustrates the relationship between the groups of rotation (in 3D and 4D Euclidean space) and the Lorentz group. For a more detailed explanation of this diagram see [[https://esackinger.wordpress.com/|Fun with Symmetry]]. | + | The following diagram illustrates the relationship between the groups of rotation $O(3)$ and $O(4)$, in 3D and 4D Euclidean space, respectively, and the Lorentz group $O(1,3)$.
