For biquaternion ''q'' = ''w'' + ''x'' i + ''y'' j + ''z''k, ''w'' is called the biscalar and xi + yj + zk is its bivector part. The coordinates ''w, x, y, z'' are complex numbers with imaginary unit h: :$x\; =\; x\_1\; +\; hx\_2,\backslash \; y\; =\; y\_1\; +\; h\; y\_2,\backslash \; z\; =\; z\_1\; +\; hz\_2,\; \backslash quad\; h^2\; =\; -1\; =\; i^2\; =\; j^2\; =\; k^2\; .$ A bivector may be written as the sum of real and imaginary parts: :$(x\_1\; i\; +\; y\_1\; j\; +\; z\_1\; k)\; +\; h\; (x\_2\; i\; +\; y\_2\; j\; +\; z\_2\; k)$ where $r\_1\; =\; x\_1\; i\; +\; y\_1\; j\; +\; z\_1\; k\; ,\; \backslash quad\; r\_2\; =\; x\_2\; i\; +\; y\_2\; j\; +\; z\_2\; k)$ are vectors. Thus the bivector $q\; =\; x\; i\; +\; y\; j\; +\; z\; k\; =\; r\_1\; +\; h\; r\_2\; .$〔W.R. Hamilton (1853) (On the geometrical interpretation of some results obtained by calculation with biquaternions ), ''Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy'' 5: 388-90, link from David R. Wilkins collection at Trinity College, Dublin〕 The Lie algebra of the Lorentz group is expressed by bivectors. In particular, if r1 and r2 are right versors so that $r\_1^2\; =\; -1\; =\; r\_2^2$, then the biquaternion curve traces over and over the unit circle in the plane . Such a circle corresponds to the space rotation parameters of the Lorentz group. Now (h r2)2 = (−1)(−1) = +1, and the biquaternion curve is a unit hyperbola in the plane . The spacetime transformations in the Lorentz group that lead to FitzGerald contractions and time dilation depend on a hyperbolic angle parameter. In the words of Ronald Shaw, "Bivectors are logarithms of Lorentz transformations"〔Ronald Shaw and Graham Bowtell (1969) "The Bivector Logarithm of a Lorentz Transformation", Quarterly Journal of Mathematics 20:497–503〕 The commutator product of this Lie algebra is just twice the cross product on R3, for instance, () = ij −ji = 2k which is twice i × j. As Shaw wrote in 1970: :Now it is well known that the Lie algebra of the homogeneous Lorentz group can be considered to be that of bivectors under commutation. ... The Lie algebra of bivectors is essentially that of complex 3-vectors, with the Lie product being defined to be the familiar cross product in (complex) 3-dimensional space.〔Ronald Shaw (1970) "The subgroup structure of the homogeneous Lorentz group", ''Quarterly Journal of Mathematics'' 21:101–24〕 William Rowan Hamilton coined both the terms ''vector'' and ''bivector''. The first term was named with quaternions, and the second about a decade later, as in ''Lectures on Quaternions'' (1853).〔Hamilton 1853 page 665〕 Given a bivector r = r1 + h r2, the ellipse for which r1 and r2 are a pair of conjugate semi-diameters is called the ''directional ellipse of the bivector'' r.〔EB Wilson 1901 page 436〕 In the standard linear representation of biquaternions as 2 x 2 complex matrices acting on the complex plane with basis , : represents bivector ''q'' = ''v'' i + ''w'' j + ''x'' k. The conjugate transpose of this matrix corresponds to −''q'', so the representation of bivector ''q'' is a skew-Hermitian matrix. Ludwik Silberstein studied a complexified electromagnetic field ''E'' + h ''B'', where there are three components, each a complex number, known as the Riemann-Silberstein vector.
