Riemann-Finsler geometry and Lorentz-violating kinematics
arXiv:1104.5488 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2011.05.041
Abstract
Effective field theories with explicit Lorentz violation are intimately linked to Riemann-Finsler geometry. The quadratic single-fermion restriction of the Standard-Model Extension provides a rich source of pseudo-Riemann-Finsler spacetimes and Riemann-Finsler spaces. An example is presented that is constructed from a 1-form coefficient and has Finsler structure complementary to the Randers structure.
