The result (5.14) cited in [3] looks very like (6.8), except that the zero component of the latter contains u0 = γ(u), where u:= v Q is the instantaneous coordinate speed of the charge at the retarded event Q. We are about to find out exactly what ℛ is in the expression of (5.14). We will then understand what is involved in the claim that it is invariant.
