In projective geometry, a special conformal transformation is a linear fractional transformation that is not an affine transformation. Thus the generation of a special conformal transformation involves use of multiplicative inversion, which is the generator of linear fractional transformations that is not affine. In mathematical physics, certain conformal maps known as spherical wave transformations are special conformal transformations.
