Abstract
Some remarks about a recent article dealing with Maxwell equations written on conformal space M4c are presented. The relevance of the manifold M4c in conformal physics, the cotransformation of fields under the conformal group, and the presence of external currents in Maxwell equations are discussed. A simple proof of the conformal covariance of a linear gauge condition for Maxwell equations is then exhibited.Keywords
