چکیده

A hypothetical violation of Lorentz invariance in the electrons’ equation of motion (expressed within the Lorentz-violating extension of the standard model) leads to a change of the geometry of crystals and thus shifts the resonance frequency of an electromagnetic cavity. This allows experimental tests of Lorentz invariance of the electron sector of the standard model. The material dependence of the effect allows to separate it from an additional shift caused by Lorentz violation in electrodynamics, and to place independent limits on both effects. From present experiments, upper limits on Lorentz violation in the electrons’ kinetic energy term are deduced.

In this letter we reconsider the role of Lorentz invariance in the dynami-cal generation of the observed internal symmetries. We argue that, generally, Lorentz invariance can only be imposed in the sense that all Lorentz non-invariant effects caused by the spontaneous breakdown of Lorentz symmetry are physically unobservable. Remarkably, the application of this principle to the most general rel...

The proof of one-loop renormalizability of the general Lorentz-and CPT-violating extension of quantum electrodynamics is described. Application of the renormalization-group method is discussed and implications for theory and experiment are considered.

The process of exclusive heavy vector meson photoproduction, γp → V p, is studied in the framework of QCD factorization. The mass of the produced meson, V = Υ or J/Ψ, provides a hard scale for the process. We demonstrate, that in the heavy quark limit and at the one-loop order in perturbation theory, the amplitude factorizes in a convolution of a perturbatively calculable hard-scattering amplit...
