The correspondence between Riemann-Finsler geometries and effective field theories with spin-independent Lorentz violation is explored. We obtain the general quadratic action for effective scalar field theories in any spacetime dimension with Lorentz-violating operators of arbitrary mass dimension. Classical relativist…

In the paper [4] is presented a theory which unifies the gravitation theory and the mechanical effects, which is different from the Riemannian theories like GTR. Moreover it is built in the style of the electomagnetic field theory. This paper is a continuation of [4] such that the complex variant of that theory yields …

In anomaly-free quantum field theories the integrand in the bosonic functional integral--the exponential of the effective action after integrating out fermions--is often defined only up to a phase without an additional choice. We term this choice ``setting the quantum integrand''. In the low-energy approximation to M-t…
