Definition: scalar quantity invariant to the general Lorentz transformation

EXAMPLE Examples are four-scalar product and squared four-magnitude.

Note 1 to entry: Any Lorentz scalar is a Lorentz invariant as well. The term "Lorentz scalar" is used particularly for quantities where the classification of tensors of different rank n is appropriate, and n=0.
