The Lorentz transform is simply a ""coordinate transformation "", and is represented by a matrix. Coordinate transformations do not affect the inner product. As a result they are represented by ""unitary"" matrices. Real unitary matrices are symmetrical. For a boost in the ""1""-direction the matrix representation is found by acting on ""4-velocity"" ""(γ, γv)"" such that 3-velocity, ""v"", becomes zero:
