According to 71), we have

(88) X_{_x_} + Y_{_y_} + Z_{_z_} + T_{_t_} = 0,

and according to 83), T_{_t_} > 0. In special cases, where ω vanishes it

follows from 81) that

X_{_x_}² = Y_{_y_}² = Z_{_z_}² = T_{_t_}², = (Det^{1/4} S)²,

and if T, and one of the three magnitudes X_{_x_}, Y_{_y_}, Z_{_z_} are

= ±Det^{1/4} S, the two others = -Det^{1/4} S. If Ω does not vanish let

Ω ≠ 0, then we have in particular from 80)

T_{_z_} X_{_t_} = 0, T_{_z_} Y_{_t_} = 0, Z_{_z_} T_{_z_} + T_{_z_}

T_{_t_} = 0,

and if Ω₁ = 0, Ω₂ = 0, Z_{_z_} = -T_{_t_} It follows from (81), (see

also 83) that

X_{_x_} = -Y_{_y_} = ±Det^{1/4} S,

and -Z_{_z_} = T_{_t_} = √(Det^{½} S + εμΩ₃²) > Det^{1/4}S.
