Finsler spacetime in light of Segal’s principle

Abstract: ISIM(2) symmetry group of Cohen and Glashow's very special relativity is unstable with respect to small deformations of its underlying algebraic structure and according to Segal's principle cannot be a true symmetry of nature. However, like special relativity, which is a very good description of nature thanks to the smallness of the cosmological constant, which characterizes the deformation of the Poincaré group, the very special relativity can also be a very good approximation thanks to the smallness of the d… Show more

“…The symmetry of the Bogoslovsky-Finsler model is in fact of the Very Special Relativity (VRS) type ; in the Minkowski case it is the 8-parameter DISIM b (2) [7,33,38]. The clue is to deform an u-v boost N 0 to N b in as (V.8).…”

“…where n µ is a fixed null vector. Therefore, according to Segal's principle, we can expect that b is not zero, but it can be extremely small by analogy with the cosmological constant [24]. The unit vector n in n µ = (1, n) indicates the preferred direction in three-dimensional space.…”

“…Of course, when the parameter b is zero the typical pseudo-Riemannian line-element of special relativity is recovered. The b → 0 limit however is quite subtle at the level of the finite symmetry transformations since the preferred direction introduced with ℓ in (1) persists in those relations (see [13]).…”
