Induced Lorentz-violating terms at finite temperature
We study the radiatively induced Lorentz-violating terms at finite
temperature, namely, the higher-derivative term and the Chern-Simons term.
These terms are induced by integrating out the fermions coupled to the
coefficient . The calculation of the resulting expressions is
performed by using the derivative expansion and the Matsubara formalism. The
Chern-Simons terms is nonzero only at finite temperature, whereas the
higher-derivative term is finite at zero temperature, however, it goes to zero
as the temperature grows to infinity. We also obtain a higher-derivative
Chern-Simons term, nevertheless, it vanishes asymptotically.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, revtex4; v2: EPL versio
Radiatively induced CPT-odd Chern-Simons term in massless QED
In this work, we study the radiative generation of the CPT-odd
Lorentz-violating Chern-Simons term, arising from massless fermions. For this,
we calculate the vacuum polarization tensor using the 't Hooft-Veltman
regularization scheme, in which the result obtained for the coefficient of the
Chern-Simons term is . This result
leads us precisely to the same conductivity found in Weyl semimetals, i.e., the
't Hooft-Veltman regularization scheme is the correct one to be used in this
context. We also discuss the temperature dependence of , in which
at high temperature, and
. In the context of Weyl semimetals, these
results are in accordance with the fact that the chiral magnetic current
vanishes at high temperature, whereas the anomalous Hall current
remains unaffected by the finite temperature.Comment: 13 pages, accepted for publication in Europhys. Let
Nonanalyticity of the induced Carroll-Field-Jackiw term at finite temperature
In this paper, we discuss the behavior of the Carroll-Field-Jackiw (CFJ)
coefficient arising due to integration over massive fermions, and the
modification suffered by its topological structure in the finite temperature
case. Our study is based on the imaginary time formalism and summation over the
Matsubara frequencies. We demonstrate that the self-energy of photon is
non-analytic for the small limit, i.e., the static limit and the long wavelength limit
do not commute, while the tensorial structure of the CFJ term holds in both
limits.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur
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
