Relativistic Chasles' theorem and the conjugacy classes of the inhomogeneous Lorentz group
This work is devoted to the relativistic generalization of Chasles' theorem, namely, to the proof that every proper orthochronous isometry of Minkowski spacetime, which sends some point to its chronological future, is generated through the frame displacement of an observer which moves with constant acceleration and constant angular velocity.
