Abstract
We study an Abelian 1-form gauge theory in the context of very special relativity. The very special relativity regards subgroup of Lorentz group as fundamental symmetry of the nature than the full Lorentz group. The rotational symmetry of the Lorentz symmetry breaks down by chosing a privileged direction in spacetime. We discuss the BRST invariant and anti-BRST invariant superspace formulations for such BV actions. The VSR modified BRST invariant BV action corresponding to the Abelian 1-form gauge theory can be written manifestly covariant manner in a superspace with one Grassmann coordinate. Moreover, we can write down the the VSR modified extended BRST and extended anti-BRST invariant BV actions in a superspace with two Grassmann coordinates. The results thus obtained is in complete agreement with the Lorentz invariant theory.
