Abstract
The existence of a preferred axis in space, called the tachyon corridor,
has recently been proposed in order to generalize the one-dimensional
causal theory of tachyons to three dimensions. We use this theory to
derive the general transformation equations between inertial frames with
superluminal relative velocities in a three-dimensional space. The
kinematics of tachyons, as well as luxons emitted by them, are then worked
out and several characteristics of the tachyon corridor follow from them.
These provide the means for determining the direction of the tachyon
corridor.
