Abstract
We consider scattering of light by light in Very Special Relativity (VSR) Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) with a non-zero photon mass. In order to preserve gauge invariance and Sim(2) symmetry we made use of a recently introduced infrared regularization of VSR theories. Additionally, we show that all one loop diagrams with any number of photon external legs and zero fermion legs reduce to the standard QED result with the effective electron mass, as required by unitarity. It follows that the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian is the same as in QED. The total cross section of scattering of light by light exhibits tiny anisotropies that could be detected at cosmological scales. In particular, they should be looked at the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) Radiation for low photon frequencies.
