Induced Lorentz and PCT Symmetry Breaking in an External Electromagnetic Field

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

In this work we derive the Lorentz-PCT-violating effective action for a fermion in a constant and uniform electromagnetic field using the Fock-Schwinger proper time method and extract the exact value of the coefficient of the nonperturbatively induced Chern-Simons term.
