Abstract: We obtain the two new variants of an explicit parametrization for the general Lorentz group. Formulas are given for the direct and inverse four-dimensional Lorentz transformations. These formulas use the orthogonal three- or four-dimensional matrices. We find the infinitesimal operators of the proper Lorentz group and the multiplication formulas (commutators) of the infinitesimal operators. The orthogonal three- and four-dimensional matrices are parameterized by lower triangular matrices containing three or six independent parameters.

Keywords: Lorentz transformation, relativity theory, wave equation, Lorentz group, orthogonal matrix, infinitesimal operator. .
