Lorentz-violating electrodynamics in continuous matter
Abstract
We review the propagation of electromagnetic waves in continuous matter in the presence of Lorentz-violating terms. First, we briefly discuss classical electrodynamics with regard to optical properties of a dielectric medium exhibiting the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME). Such a medium can be modeled by Maxwell-Carroll-Field-Jackiw (MCFJ) theory. Second, we describe the impact of CPT-odd terms of mass dimensions three and five, respectively, on electromagnetic propagation in continuous matter. Birefringence and absorption are analyzed in the scenarios investigated. Our findings provide new insights into the interplay between classical field theory and optical effects in matter.
