Abstract
In this paper the generalization of the rotations on any light-cone in Minkowski 3-space R-g(1,2) is given. The rotation motion on the lightcone is examined by means of a bilinear form and Lorentzian notions. We use the corresponding Rodrigues and Cayley formulas and benefit from the hyperbolic split quaternion product to obtain the corresponding rotation matrix.
