若矩阵行列式非零,相应变换便可逆。这些保角变换称为莫比乌斯变换(Möbius transformation)。在第 40 章中,我们会看到这种群作用(group action)出现在狭义相对论中;它对球面的作用可以理解为对光线空间的变换。当矩阵属于 时,其元素满足 、 以及 。此时球面上的对应变换就是 中球面的旋转。这也从另一角度说明 是旋转群 的双覆盖。

If the matrix has nonzero determinant, the transformation is invertible. These are conformal (angle-preserving) transformations of the complex plane called Möbius transformations. In Chapter 40, we will see this group action in special relativity, where its action on the sphere can be understood as a transformation of the space of light rays. For a matrix in , the entries satisfy , , and . The corresponding transformation rotates the sphere in , giving another way to understand as the double cover of .
