On the Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly in a Horava-Lifshitz-like QED
We show the absence of the ABJ anomaly for the Horava-Lifshitz-like QED with
any even . Besides of this, we study the graph contributing to the ABJ
anomaly at non-zero temperature and extend the Fujikawa's methodology of
studying the integral measure for our model.Comment: 9 pages, version accepted to EP
On the perturbative generation of the higher-derivative Lorentz-breaking terms
In this paper, we describe the perturbative generation of the
higher-derivative Lorentz-breaking terms for the gauge field, that is, the
Myers-Pospelov term and the higher-derivative Carroll-Field-Jackiw term. These
terms are explicitly calculated in the one-loop approximation and shown to be
finite and ambiguous.Comment: 12 pages, version accepted to PR
On aether terms in a space-time with a compact extra dimension
In this paper, for the CPT-even and CPT-odd extensions of the QED, we
explicitly obtain the aether-like corrections for the electromagnetic field in
the case when the space-time involves an extra compact spatial dimension
besides of usual four dimensions. Our methodology is based on an explicit
summation over the Kaluza-Klein tower of fields which is no more difficult than
the finite-temperature calculations. The quantum corrections turn out to be
large as the extra dimension is small. We demonstrate that in the CPT-even
case, the extra dimension manifests itself through a new scalar particle.Comment: 9 page
Dynamical Lorentz and CPT symmetry breaking in a 4D four-fermion model
In a 4D chiral Thirring model we analyse the possibility that radiative
corrections may produce spontaneous breaking of Lorentz and CPT symmetry. By
studying the effective potential, we verified that the chiral current
may assume a nonzero vacuum expectation
value which triggers the Lorentz and CPT violations. Furthermore, by making
fluctuations on the minimum of the potential we dynamically induce a bumblebee
like model containing a Chern-Simons term.Comment: Small modifications in the text and new references added, 12 pages, 4
