On the nonlinear electrodynamics in a Lorentz-breaking scenario

High Energy Physics - Theory 2024-05-24 v4

Abstract

In this work, we study a model in nonlinear electrodynamics in the presence of a CPT-even term that violates Lorentz symmetry. The Lorentz-breaking vector, in addition to the usual background magnetic field, produces interesting effects in the dispersion relations. The consequences on the vacuum refractive index and the group velocity are studied. Vacuum birefringence is discussed in the case the nonlinear electrodynamics is a Euler-Heisenberg model.
