Abstract: The group-theoretical justification is presented for the original approach by Kirznits and Chechin which allows for the primary protons of ultra-high energy cosmic rays to overcome the energetic limit (about 50 EeV) of Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuzmin remaining in the scope of the usual ideas about the nature of the extra-galactic sources of the cosmic rays. It is shown that the explicit form of the factor deforming the Lorentz invariant in the energy-momentum space may be found on the grounds of the approximate transition from Lorentz symmetry to the conformal values of the Lorentz-factor of the order $10^{10} \div 10^{11}$.

Keywords: Lorentz group, conformal group, cosmic rays, Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuzmin limit, ultra-high energy.
