Vacuum Čerenkov Radiation in Maxwell-chern-simons Electrodynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent years the so-called Standard-Model Extension (SME) has provided a convenient framework for studying minute Lorentz and CPT violations that may be low-energy signatures for Planck-scale physics. In this work we will study a subsector of the SME describing pure electrodynamics, where Maxwell theory has been modified with Chern–Simons-like term in the Lagrangian parametrized by dimensionful parameter (kAF ) :

On Quantum Corrections to Chern-Simons Spinor Electrodynamics
We make a detailed investigation on the quantum corrections to ChernSimons spinor electrodynamics. Starting from Chern-Simons spinor quantum electrodynamics with the Maxwell term −1/(4γ)∫ dxFμνF and by calculating the vacuum polarization tensor, electron self-energy and on-shell vertex, we explicitly show that the Ward identity is satisfied and hence verify that the physical quantities are inde...
متن کاملPhoton decay in a CPT-violating extension of quantum electrodynamics
We consider the process of photon decay in quantum electrodynamics with a CPTviolating Chern–Simons-like term added to the action. For a simplified model with only the quadratic Maxwell and Chern–Simons-like terms and the quartic Euler– Heisenberg term, we obtain a nonvanishing probability for the decay of a particular photon state into three others.
متن کاملDifferential Regularization of Chern-Simons-Maxwell Spinor and Scalar Electrodynamics
Differential regularization is used to investigate the one-loop quantum corrections to Chern-Simons-Maxwell spinor and scalar electrodynamics. We illustrate the techniques to write the loop amplitudes in coordinate space. The short-distance expansion method is developed to perform the Fourier transformation of the amplitudes into momentum space and the possible renormalization ambiguity in Cher...
متن کاملTheoretical Topics in Spacetime-symmetry Violations
The Lorentzand CPT-violating Chern–Simons extension of electrodynamics is considered. In the context of N = 4 supergravity in four spacetime dimensions, it is argued that cosmological solutions can generate this extension. Within Chern– Simons electrodynamics, theoretical and phenomenological topics are reviewed that concern the number of the remaining spacetime symmetries and the vacuum Cheren...
متن کاملVacuum Polarization Effects from Fermion Zero-Point Energy
The influence of an external electromagnetic field on the vacuum structure of a quantized Dirac field is investigated by considering the quantum corrections to classical Maxwell’s Lagrangian density induced by fluctuations of the non-perturbative vacuum. Effective Lagrangian densities for Maxwell’s theory in (3+1) and (2+1) dimensions are derived from the vacuum zero-point energy of the fermion...
