Abstract

The general charge-conserving effective scalar field theory incorporating violations of Lorentz symmetry is presented. The dispersion relation is used to infer the effects of spin-independent Lorentz violation on point-particle motion. A large class of associated Finsler spaces is derived, and the properties of these spaces is explored.
