On the induction of the four-dimensional Lorentz-breaking non-Abelian Chern-Simons action
A four-dimensional Lorentz-breaking non-Abelian Chern-Simons like action is
generated as a one-loop perturbative correction via an appropriate
Lorentz-breaking coupling of the non-Abelian gauge field to the spinor field.
This term is shown to be regularization dependent but nevertheless it can be
found unambiguously in different regularization schemes at zero and finite
temperature.Comment: accepted version in Physical Review
Cosmology in the Universe with distance dependent Lorentz-violating bakground
We consider a cosmological setup with the inflaton field in the presence of a
redshift dependent Lorentz-violating time-like background to address the
inflationary regime and other phases of the Universe. We also show that the
regime of dark energy at large distances (low redshifts) is essentially
dominated by the presence of the Lorentz-violating background.Comment: 8 pages, no figure, Latex, to appear in AHE
On the effective action of the vacuum photon splitting in Lorentz-violating QED
We consider one-loop radiative corrections from Lorentz- and CPT- violating
extended QED to address the specific problem of finding explicitly an effective
action describing amplitude of photon triple splitting. We show that it is not
possible to find a nonzero photon triple splitting effective action, at least
by using the derivative expansion method (at zero external momenta), up to
leading order in the Lorentz- and CPT- violating parameter.Comment: 4 pages, version to appear in EP
On the aether-like Lorentz-breaking actions
We demonstrate the generation of the CPT-even, aether-like Lorentz-breaking
actions for the scalar and electromagnetic fields via their appropriate
Lorentz-breaking coupling to spinor fields in three, four and five space-time
dimensions. Besides, we show that the aether-like terms for the spinor field
also can be generated as a consequence of the same couplings. Also we discuss
the dispersion relations in the theories with aether-like Lorentz-breaking
terms and find the tree-level effective (Breit) potential for fermion
scattering and the one-loop effective potential corresponding to the action of
the scalar field.Comment: 18 pages, version accepted to Physical Review
Lorentz-violating dimension-five operator contribution to the black body radiation
We investigate the thermodynamics of a photon gas in an effective field
theory model that describes Lorentz violations through dimension-five operators
and Horava-Lifshitz theory. We explore the electrodynamics of the model which
includes higher order derivatives in the Lagrangian that can modify the
dispersion relation for the propagation of the photons. We shall focus on the
deformed black body radiation spectrum and modified Stefan-Boltzmann law to
address the allowed bounds on the Lorentz-violating parameter.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures. Version published in PL
The Noncommutative Anandan's Quantum Phase
In this work we study the noncommutative nonrelativistic quantum dynamics of
a neutral particle, that possesses permanent magnetic and electric dipole
momenta, in the presence of an electric and magnetic fields. We use the
Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation of the Dirac spinor with a non-minimal coupling
to obtain the nonrelativistic limit. In this limit, we will study the
noncommutative quantum dynamics and obtain the noncommutative Anandan's
geometric phase. We analyze the situation where magnetic dipole moment of the
particle is zero and we obtain the noncommutative version of the
He-McKellar-Wilkens effect. We demonstrate that this phase in the
noncommutative case is a geometric dispersive phase. We also investigate this
geometric phase considering the noncommutativity in the phase space and the
Anandan's phase is obtained.Comment: 15 pages, revtex4, version to appear in Physical Review
Violation of the Ikeda sum rule and the self-consistency in the renormalized quasiparticle random phase approximation and the nuclear double-beta decay
The effect of the inclusion of ground state correlations into the QRPA
equation of motion for the two-neutrino double beta () decay
is carefully analyzed. The resulting model, called renormalized QRPA (RQRPA),
does not collapse near the physical value of the nuclear force strength in the
particle-particle channel, as happens with the ordinary QRPA. Still, the
transition amplitude is only slightly less sensitive on
this parameter in the RQRPA than that in the plain QRPA. It is argued that this
fact reveals once more that the characteristic behaviour of the
transition amplitude within the QRPA is not an artifact of
the model, but a consequence of the partial restoration of the spin-isospin
symmetry. It is shown that the price paid for bypassing the collapse in
the RQRPA is the violation of the Ikeda sum rule.Comment: 16 pages, latex, 3 postscript figure
