Text: "From the Lorentz transformation to the transformation C: The absolute invariance of the Maxwell-C equations and related topics." In material medium, the velocity of light c is replaced by the maximum velocity C of an advancing signal -- the propagation of a wavefront in the material and a rotation of the spatial reference frame in a transversal plane. By a particular choice of the angle of rotation, a 4-dimensional symmetrical transformation is obtained. This process is called the transformation C; it generalizes the Lorentz-C transformation and is full of consequences. An observer in the new frame (scalar] of reference measures the field vectors unchange. The main features of the theory of special relativity, i.e.: the invariance of charge and the Einstein mass-energy relation appear unchanged (c, however, is replaced by C]. The mathematical analysis employs the "fictitious" densities of "magnetic current" and "magnetic charge" -- scalar entities.
