Lorentz-violating Euler-Heisenberg effective action
Abstract
In this work, we study the radiative generation of the Lorentz-violating Euler-Heisenberg action, in the weak field approximation. For this, we first consider a nonperturbative calculation in the coefficient , however, by assuming rotational invariance. Within this approach, we also obtain the results of the amplitude for the photon triple splitting. In the following, we take into account the perturbative approach, where is treated as a insertion in the propagator and a new vertex. The partial results are in fact an expansion up to first order in of the nonperturbative ones, with and . This suggest that the complete results obtained in the nonperturbative approach can be used in both treatments.
