Quantization of the tachyonic field and the preferred frame
Abstract
Description
A consistent quantization scheme for imaginary-mass field is proposed. It is related to an appropriate choice of the synchronization procedure (definition of time), which guarantee an absolute causality in agreement with Lorentz covariance. In that formulation a possible existence of field excitations (tachyons) distinguish an inertial frame (tachyon privileged frame of reference) {\em via} spontaneous breaking of the so called synchronization group. In this scheme relativity principle is broken but Lorentz symmetry is exactly preserved in agreement with local properties of the observed world.
