Chirality (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geometry, a figure is chiral (and said to have chirality ) if it is not identical to its mirror image, or more particularly if it cannot be mapped to its mirror image by rotations and translati...

(see Chirality ... In physics and mathematics, the Poincaré group, named after Henri Poincaré, is the group of isometries of Minkowski spacetime. It is a 10-dimensional noncompact Lie group. The abelian group of translations is a normal subgroup while the Lorentz group is a subgroup, the stabilizer of a point...

The chirality of a particle is more abstract. It is determined by whether the particle transforms in a right or left handed representation of the Poincaré group. (However, some representations, such as Dirac spinors, have both right and left handed components.
