How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T6396948 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
AdS isometry group SO(2,d)
The AdS isometry group SO(2,d) is the spacetime symmetry group of (d+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter space, matching the conformal symmetry group of the dual d-dimensional field theory in the AdS/CFT correspondence.
-
B.
Lorentz group
The Lorentz group is the mathematical group of spacetime symmetries in special relativity, consisting of all rotations and boosts that preserve the Minkowski spacetime interval.
-
C.
special orthogonal group SO(n)
The special orthogonal group SO(n) is the group of all n×n real rotation matrices with determinant 1, representing orientation-preserving isometries of n-dimensional Euclidean space that fix the origin.
-
D.
SL(2,C)
SL(2,C) is the complex special linear group of 2×2 matrices with determinant 1, which serves as the double cover and spinor representation group of the proper orthochronous Lorentz group in four-dimensional spacetime.
-
E.
rotation group SU(2)
The rotation group SU(2) is the Lie group of 2×2 unitary matrices with determinant 1 that serves as the double cover of the three-dimensional rotation group SO(3) and underlies the quantum theory of angular momentum and spin.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
