Abstract
A linear quasistochastic representation of the hyperbolic tangent semigroup is described which acts in dual space-time and which is a semigroup of relativistic endomorphisms. Some of its properties are described, and its relationship with the Lorentz group is discussed. This transformation semigroup permits a novel approach to space-time concepts and a discussion of the representations of the quasistochastic semigroup of relativistic endomorphisms and the associated invariants.
