Lorentz-violating electrodynamics and the cosmic microwave background

Astrophysics 2008-11-26 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

Possible Lorentz-violating effects in the cosmic microwave background are studied. We provide a systematic classification of renormalizable and nonrenormalizable operators for Lorentz violation in electrodynamics and use polarimetric observations to search for the associated violations.
