Four-momentum
In special relativity, four-momentum is the generalization of the classical three-dimensional momentum to four-dimensional spacetime. Momentum is a vector in three dimensions; similarly four-momentum is a four-vector in spacetime. The contravariant four-momentum of a particle with energy and three-momentum , where is the particles and the Lorentz factor, is
:
p = (p^0 , p^1 , p^2 , p^3 ) = \left( , p_x , p_y , p_z\right).

The quantity of above is ordinary non-relativistic momentum of the particle and its rest mass. The four-momentum is useful in relativistic calculations because it is a Lorentz vector. This means that it is easy to keep track of how it transforms under Lorentz transformations.
The above definition applies under the coordinate convention that . Some authors use the convention , which yields a modified definition with . It is also possible to define covariant four-momentum where the sign of the energy is reversed.
== Minkowski norm ==

Calculating the Minkowski norm of the four-momentum gives a Lorentz invariant quantity equal (up to factors of the speed of light ) to the square of the particle's proper mass:
:p \cdot p = p^\mu p_\mu = \eta_ p^\mu p^\nu = - + |\mathbf p|^2 = -m^2c^2
where we use the convention that
: \eta_ = \left(& 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 1
\end\right )
is the metric tensor of special relativity. The fact that the norm is negative reflects that the momentum is a timelike for massive particles.
The Minkowski norm is Lorentz invariant, meaning its value is not changed by Lorentz transformations/boosting into different frames of reference. More generally, for any two and , the quantity is invariant.
