Abstract
We investigate the properties of a real scalar field in the Finslerian
Randers spacetime, where the local Lorentz violation is driven by a
geometrical background vector. We propose a dynamics for the scalar
field by a minimal coupling of the scalar field and the Finsler metric.
The coupling is intrinsically defined on the Randers spacetime, and it
leads to a non-canonical kinetic term for the scalar field. The
nonlinear dynamics can be split into a linear and nonlinear regimes,
which depend perturbatively on the even and odd powers of the
Lorentz-violating parameter, respectively. We analyze the plane-waves
solutions and the modified dispersion relations, and it turns out that
the spectrum is free of tachyons up to second-order. (C) 2017 The
