Abstract
This work generalizes the theory of Special Relativity (SR) to multidimensional geometric frameworks (NG) by extending the invariance of the Minkowski distance to an arbitrary N-dimensional spacetime. A unified methodology is developed to derive Lorentz transformations for even and odd dimensional geometries using the roots of unity (N−1≡k) in the transformation matrices, ensuring the invariance of the generalized interval (ds′)k=(ds)k. The corresponding Lorentz factor is obtained as [Formula presented], which reduces to the conventional form when k=2. The analysis reveals distinct alignment symmetries: face-to-face configurations for even-dimensional and side-by-side configurations for odd-dimensional frameworks. Increasing dimensionality suppresses relativistic effects and introduces a complex spacetime structure characterized by real (visible) and imaginary (dark) time components, providing a geometric interpretation of the dark energy. The results demonstrate that the Lorentz group symmetry and spacetime invariance remain valid in higher-dimensional frameworks, offering new insights into the geometric foundations of relativity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology.
