We present a compact Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff–Dynkin formula for the composition of Lorentz transformations [Formula: see text] in the spin representation (a.k.a. Lorentz rotors) in terms of their generators [Formula: see text]: [Formula: see text] This formula is general to geometric algebras (a.k.a. real Clifford algebras) of dimension [Formula: see text], naturally generalizing Rodrigues’ formula for rotations in [Formula: see text]. In particular, it applies to Lorentz rotors within the framework of Hestenes’ spacetime algebra, and provides an efficient method for composing Lorentz generators. Computer implementations are possible with a complex [Formula: see text] matrix representation realized by the Pauli spin matrices. The formula is applied to the composition of relativistic 3-velocities yielding simple expressions for the resulting boost and the concomitant Wigner angle.

This is the first paper in a series (of four) designed to show how to use geometric algebras of multivectors and extensors to a novel presentation of some topics of differential geometry which are important for a deeper understanding of geometrical theories of the gravitational field. In this first paper we introduce the key algebraic tools for the development of our program, namely the euclidean geometrical algebra of multivectors [Formula: see text] and the theory of its deformations leading to metric geometric algebras [Formula: see text] and some special types of extensors. Those tools permit obtaining, the remarkable golden formula relating calculations in [Formula: see text] with easier ones in [Formula: see text] (e.g. a noticeable relation between the Hodge star operators associated to G and GE). Several useful examples are worked in details for the purpose of transmitting the "tricks of the trade".
