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 cμνc_{\mu\nu}, 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 cμνc_{\mu\nu} 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 cμνc_{\mu\nu} of the nonperturbative ones, with c00=κc_{00}=\kappa and c0i=cij=0c_{0i}=c_{ij}=0. This suggest that the complete results obtained in the nonperturbative approach can be used in both treatments.
