title: The Dependence of Lorentz Boost Generators on the Presence and Nature of Interactions
subjects: quantum-field-theory

full_text_status: public
keywords: Lorentz Boosts, Interactions, Quantum Field Theory
abstract: The long established but infrequently discussed dependence of Lorentz boost generators on the presence and nature of interactions is reviewed in this tutorial note. The last third of the note presents a discussion of the covariant transformation and evolution equations for the non-conserved partial generators of the inhomogeneous Lorentz group for interacting subsystems.
