Abstract

Electric dipole moments of atoms can arise from P-odd and T-odd electron--nucleon couplings. This work studies a general class of dimension-six electron--nucleon interactions mediated by Lorentz-violating tensors of ranks ranging from 11 to 44. The possible couplings are listed as well as their behavior under C, P, and T, allowing us to select the couplings compatible with electric-dipole-moment physics. The unsuppressed contributions of these couplings to the atom's hamiltonian can be read as equivalent to an electric dipole moment. The Lorentz-violating coefficients' magnitudes are limited using electric-dipole-moment measurements at the levels of 3.2×1031(eV)23.2\times10^{-31}\text{(eV)}^{-2} or 1.6×1033(eV)21.6\times10^{-33}\text{(eV)}^{-2}.
