Description

I will consider a class of Lagrangians on a finite dimensional manifold which are invariant by the action of a continuous group of local diffeomorphisms and that capture some of the features of a Lorentzian metric admitting a timelike Killing vector field. This class includes known examples of stationary Lorentz-Finsler metrics and since they admit a locally injective Legendre transform they might be of some interest for modified dispersion relations.
