This work deals with the relativistic, coordinate invariant theory of electromagnetic wave propagation in a nonhomogeneous medium that is spatially isotropic with respect to the generalized 4-velocity. The existence of a new superpotential for the electromagnetic field is established. The governing field equation for the superpotential is derived via a generalized Lorentz gauge condition for the electromagnetic potential and two new tensor identities involving the curvature tensor. The new field equation takes a simple form which reveals the effect of non-rigidity, rotation, acceleration, and incomplete material isotropy with respect to the Fermi frames as well as curvature and nonhomogeneous material properties.
