Self-dual Maxwell–Chern–Simons solitons from a Lorentz-violating model

Lorentz-Violating Extension of the Standard Model

In the context of conventional quantum field theory, we present a general Lorentz-violating extension of the minimal SU(3) × SU(2)× U(1) standard model including CPT-even and CPTodd terms. It can be viewed as the low-energy limit of a physically relevant fundamental theory with Lorentz-covariant dynamics in which spontaneous Lorentz violation occurs. The extension has gauge invariance, energy-m...

Lorentz-Violating Supergravity

The standard forms of supersymmetry and supergravity are inextricably wedded to Lorentz invariance. Here a Lorentz-violating form of supergravity is proposed. The superpartners have exotic properties that are not possible in a theory with exact Lorentz symmetry and microcausality. For example, the bosonic sfermions have spin 1/2 and the fermionic gauginos have spin 1. The theory is based on a p...

Lorentz-violating Electromagnetostatics

In this talk, the stationary limit of Lorentz-violating electrodynamics is discussed. As illustrated by some simple examples, the general solution includes unconven-tional mixing of electrostatic and magnetostatic effects. I discuss a high-sensitivity null-type measurement, exploiting Lorentz-violating electromagnetostatic effects, that could improve existing limits on parity-odd coefficients f...

Electrostatic and Magnetostatic Solutions in a Lorentz-Violating Electrodynamics Model

We propose an effective Lorentz violating electrodynamical model via static de Sitter metric which is deviated from Minkowski metric by a minuscule amount depending on the cosmological constant. We obtain the electromagnetic field equations via the vierbein decomposition of the tensors. In addition, as an application of the electromagnetic field equations obtained, we get the solutions of elect...
