We introduce a new Lorentz-violating modification to a scalar quantum field theory. This interaction, while super-renormalizable by power counting, is fundamentally different from the interactions previously considered within the…

The search of violation of Lorentz symmetry, or Lorentz violation (LV), is an active research field. The effects of LV are expected to be very small and special systems are often used to search it. High-energy astrophysical neutrinos offer…
High-energy astrophysics observations provide the best possibilities to detect a very small violation of Lorentz invariance, such as may be related to the structure of space-time near the Planck scale. I discuss the possible signatures of…
