A generalized De Moivre formula is got and used to find the structure of the Minkowski space of quaternion-like operators. The automorphisms of this space are shown to be Lorentz transformations. Rotations in a Minkowski space are shown to depend only on the linear algebra of the linear transformations or operators of a two-dimensional unitary space.
