Axion mass bound in very special relativity

In this paper we propose a very special relativity (VSR)-inspired description of the axion electrodynamics. This proposal is based upon the construction of a proper study of the SIM(2)–VSR gauge-symmetry. It is shown that the VSR nonlocal effects give a health departure from the usual axion field th...
