Renormalization in a Lorentz-violating model and higher-order operators
The renormalization in a Lorentz-breaking scalar-spinor higher-derivative
model involving self-interaction and the Yukawa-like coupling is
studied. We explicitly de- monstrate that the convergence is improved in
comparison with the usual scalar-spinor model, so, the theory is
super-renormalizable, with no divergences beyond four loops. We compute the
one-loop corrections to the propagators for the scalar and fermionic fields and
show that in the presence of higher-order Lorentz invariance violation, the
poles that dominate the physical theory, are driven away from the standard
on-shell pole mass due to radiatively induced lower dimensional operators. The
new operators change the standard gamma-matrix structure of the two-point
functions, introduce large Lorentz-breaking corrections and lead to
modifications in the renormalization conditions of the theory. We found the
physical pole mass in each sector of our model.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures. New version with modifications in the

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
On the radiative corrections in the Horava-Lifshitz z=2 QED
We calculate one-loop contributions to the two and three point spinor-vector
functions in z=2 Horava-Lifshitz QED. This allows us to obtain the anomalous
magnetic moment.Comment: 10 pages, minor correction
Some Extended Classes of Distributions: Characterizations and Properties
Based on a simple relationship between two truncated moments and certain functions of the th order statistic, we characterize some extended classes of distributions recently proposed in the statistical literature, videlicet Beta-G, Gamma-G, Kumaraswamy-G and McDonald-G. Several properties of these extended classes and some special cases are discussed. We compare these classes in terms of goodness-of-fit criteria using some baseline distributions by means of two real data sets
