# Chapter "Real representations, CPT theorem and the relativistic position operator",
§"On the Lorentz, SL(2,C) and Pin(3,1) groups", Definition 49 — the discrete Pin
subgroup `Ω` is the **double cover** of the discrete Lorentz subgroup `Δ`

`book.tex` (Definition 49, line ~5510) introduces the discrete `Pin(3,1)` subgroup

```
Ω = { ±1, ±iγ⁰, ±γ⁰γ⁵, ±iγ⁵ }
```

and asserts that, via the two-to-one cover `Λ : Pin(3,1) → O(1,3)`, it is the
**double cover of the Klein-four discrete Lorentz subgroup**
`Δ = { 1, η, -η, -1 }` (`η = diag(1,-1,-1,-1)`).  Wave 84
(`BookProof.ChapterPinOmega`) pinned down the *group* structure of `Ω` (order 8,
the quaternion relations); this file discharges the remaining finite core of
Definition 49 — the **covering map** `Λ : Ω → Δ` itself.

For `S ∈ Pin(3,1)` the cover is defined by the conjugation action on the Majorana
basis, `S⁻¹ (iγ^μ) S = Λ(S)^μ_ν (iγ^ν)`.  Rewritten without inverses (multiply
by `S` on the left), this reads

```
(iγ^μ) · S = S · ( Σ_ν Λ(S)^μ_ν (iγ^ν) )
```

which over the integer Majorana model `mgammaZ` is fully decidable.  We give the
explicit integer matrix `LamZ S` for every `S ∈ Ω` and prove:

* `LamZ_spec` — the defining conjugation relation above (this *validates* the
  formula for `LamZ`);
* `LamZ_mem_Delta` — `Λ` maps `Ω` into `Δ`;
* `LamZ_surjective` — `Λ` maps `Ω` **onto** `Δ` (`Δ = Ω.image LamZ`);
* `LamZ_hom` — `Λ` is a **homomorphism** on `Ω` (`Λ(ST) = Λ(S)Λ(T)`);
* `LamZ_neg` and `LamZ_fiber_card` — `Λ(S) = Λ(-S)` and every fibre has exactly
  **2** elements, i.e. `Λ` is genuinely **two-to-one**;

so `Λ : Ω → Δ` is a surjective 2-to-1 homomorphism — the double cover of
Definition 49.  The concrete images are

```
±1 ↦ 1,   ±iγ⁰ ↦ η,   ±γ⁰γ⁵ ↦ -η,   ±iγ⁵ ↦ -1 .
```

Everything is carried out over `ℤ` (decidable) and the conjugation relation is
transported to the complex Majorana matrices `mgamma` in `LamZ_spec_C`.
`etaZ_eq_mink` connects the integer `η` used here with the Minkowski metric
`minkowskiZ` of `BookProof.ChapterA3`.

As requested this stays **off the gravity line** and **off the Hankel-transform
line** (it uses only the concrete Majorana / Dirac matrices, no spherical-Bessel
/ Hankel numerics).

Everything is `sorry`-free and `axiom`-free.
