Abstract
A formula is established, valid for all real pseudo-orthogonal groups, permitting an easy computation of the spinor norm of any pseudo-orthogonal matrix. It is a generalization of the well-known criterion used for O(3,1) according to which the spinor norm is determined by the sign of the last element of a Lorentz matrix.Keywords
