We derive new bounds on Lorentz violations in the electron sector from existing data on high-energy astrophysical sources. Synchrotron and inverse Compton data give precisely complementary constraints. The best bound on a specific combination of electron Lorentz-violating coefficients is at the 6 x 10(-20) level, and independent bounds are available for all the Lorentz-violating c coefficients ...

A theoretical study of possible signals for CPT and Lorentz violation arising in hydrogen and antihydrogen spectroscopy is described. The analysis uses a CPTand Lorentz-violating extension of quantum electrodynamics, obtained from a general Lorentz-violating extension of the minimal standard model with both CPT-even and CPT-odd terms. Certain 1S-2S transitions and hyperfine Zeeman lines exhibit...

We prove the Lorentz-Shimogaki and Boyd theorems for the spaces Λu(w). As a consequence, we give the complete characterization of the strong boundedness of H on these spaces in terms of some geometric conditions on the weights u and w, whenever p > 1. For these values of p, we also give the complete solution of the weak-type boundedness of the Hardy-Littlewood operator on Λu(w).

Lorentz symmetry breaking effects on relativistic EPR (Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen) correlations are discussed. From the modified Maxwell theory coupled to gravity, we establish a possible scenario of the Lorentz symmetry violation and write an effective metric for the Minkowski spacetime. Then we obtain the Wigner rotation angle via the Fermi–Walker transport of spinors and consider the WKB (Wentz...

Signals of CPT and Lorentz violation are possible in the context of spectroscopy using hydrogen and antihydrogen. We apply the StandardModel Extension, a broad framework for Lorentz breaking in physics, to various transitions in the hydrogen and antihydrogen spectra. The results show an unsuppressed effect in the transition between the upper two hyperfine sublevels of the ground state of these ...

The study of the normability of the Lorentz spaces L(R, μ) goes back to the work of G.G. Lorentz [10, 11] (see also [13, 3, 2] for a more recent account of the normability results for the weighted Lorentz spaces). The condition defining these spaces is given in terms of the distribution function and, equivalently, the non-increasing rearrangement of f (see [1] for standard notations and basic d...

2 to the Lorentz transformations via the law of addition of relativistic velocities. Abstract. In this paper we show how to get the Lorentz transformations from E = mc 2 , the laws of conservation of energy and momentum, and the special relativity principle. To this end we first deduce the law of addition of relativistic velocities. From E = mc 2 to the Lorentz transformations via the law of ad...

Over the last few years the study of possible Planck-scale departures from classical Lorentz symmetry has been one of the most active areas of quantum-gravity research. We now have a satisfactory description of the fate of Lorentz symmetry in the most popular noncommutative spacetimes and several studies have been devoted to the fate of Lorentz symmetry in loop quantum gravity. Remarkably there...

A conservative formulation of the Lorentz force is given here for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows at a low magnetic Reynolds number with the current density calculated based on Ohm’s law and the electrical potential formula. This conservative formula shows that the total momentum contributed from the Lorentz force is conservative when the applied magnetic field is constant. For the case with a ...
