Euclidian and Hyperbolic rotations

Do hyperbolic rotations of euclidian space and ordinary rotations of euclidian space form a group?

micromass · Aug 2, 2013

Yes, the ordinary rotations form a group called ##SO(n)##. The hyperbolic rotations also form a group, that's apparently called ##SO^+(1,1)##.

No I meant, can they form a group together. Can they be put in the same group? Just like how Lorentz boosts and rotations are combined into the Lorentz group?
