46. If R (x) were a standard vector field transforming under the same operators as x, then O̱ ̱ T would equal O̱ ̱ R. We have chosen to work with R (x) â†' O̱ ̱ T R (O̱ ̱ R â1 x) rather than R (x) ↠O̱ ̱ T â1 R (O̱ ̱ R x) so that, in this case, the transformation looks like the standard transformation of fields that transform under the same group as space points.
