[For the entire collection see Zbl 0728.00004.] Properties of the polar decomposition in \(GL_ n(\mathbb{R})\) are taken as axioms for the concept of quasidirect products. As motivating example the product decomposition of the (proper, orthochronous) Lorentz group into the set of so-called Lorentz boosts and \(SO(3)\) is studied. [Reviewer's remark: if one normalizes the light velocity to 1 this decomposition reduces to a restriction of the polar decomposition].
