Notation: Here sans-serif type will be used to denote 4-vectors, while bold roman type will used for 3-vectors. For example the space-time location of an event is represented by ${\sf x}=({\bf x},\; ict)$, where ${\bf x}$ denotes its position in space and $t$ the time at which it occurs. Also the magnitude of a 3-vector is denoted by the same symbol in italic type: $\vert{\bf x}\vert=x$.
