A relativistic screw $$\mathbf Q$$ is given by

$$\mathbf Q(2\tau) = \exp_\unicode{x27C7}[\gamma\tau(\dot\delta\,\mathbf e_0 + \dot\phi{\large\unicode{x1D7D9}}) \mathbin{\unicode{x27C7}} \boldsymbol l - \gamma c\tau\,\mathbf e_{321}]$$ ,

where $$c$$ is the speed of light and $$\gamma = dt/d\tau$$.

The operator $$\mathbf Q$$ transforms a position $$\mathbf r$$ (or any other quantity) through the sandwich product

$$\mathbf r' = \mathbf Q \mathbin{\unicode{x27C7}} \mathbf r \mathbin{\unicode{x27C7}} \smash{\mathbf{\underset{\Large\unicode{x7E}}{Q}}}$$.
