We study the consistency of having Lorentz invariance as a low energy approximation within the quantum field theory framework. A model with a scalar and a fermion field is used to show how a Lorentz invariance violating high momentum scale,…
The time-energy uncertainty relation is discussed for a relativistic massless particle. The Lorentz-invariant uncertainty relation is obtained between the root-mean-square energy deviation and the scatter of registration time. The…
Lorentz invariance is a fundamental symmetry underlying both the Standard Model of particle physics and General Relativity. Testing its validity provides a direct means of searching for new physics emerging near the Planck scale. A search…
One of the most important problems in the studying of frames and its extensions is the invariance of these systems under perturbation. The current paper is concerned with the invariance of Modular biframes for operators under some class of…
We study the IIB matrix model, which is conjectured to be a nonperturbative definition of superstring theory, by introducing an integer deformation parameter `nu' which couples to the imaginary part of the effective action induced by…
In the framework of causal perturbation theory renormalization consists of the extension of distributions. We give the explicit form of a Lorentz invariant extension of a scalar distribution, depending on one difference of space time…
The Lorentz-invariant S-matrix elements in interacting quantum field theory (QFT) are used to represent the QFT state by a Lorentz-invariant many-time wave function. Such a wave function can be used to describe inelastic scattering…
In relative locality theories the geometric properties of phase space depart from the standard ones given by the fact that spaces of momenta are linear fibers over a spacetime base manifold. In particular here it is assumed that the…
In these notes we explore a variety of models comprising a large number of constituents. An emphasis is placed on integrals over large Hermitian matrices, as well as quantum mechanical models whose degrees of freedom are organised in a…
We revisit one of the earliest proposals for deformed dispersion relations in the light of recent results on dynamical dimensional reduction and production of cosmological fluctuations. Depending on the specification of the measure of…
Lorentz invariance is a fundamental symmetry of both Einstein's theory of general relativity and quantum field theory. However, deviations from Lorentz invariance at energies approaching the Planck scale are predicted in many quantum…
The implications of the Lorentz reciprocity theorem for a scatterer connected to waveguides with arbitrary modes, including degenerate, evanescent, and complex modes, are discussed. In general it turns out that a matrix $CS$ is symmetric,…
The Standard-Model Extension (SME) provides a theoretical framework for tests of Lorentz invariance. To date, most studies have focused on the minimal SME, which restricts attention to operators of renormalizable dimension. Here, we review…
Contrary to what is often stated, a fundamental spacetime discreteness need not contradict Lorentz invariance. A causal set's discreteness is in fact locally Lorentz invariant, and we recall the reasons why. For illustration, we introduce a…
Motivated by ideas from quantum gravity, Lorentz invariance has undergone many stringent tests over the past decade and passed every one. Since there is no conclusive reason from quantum gravity that the symmetry \textit{must} be violated…
We show that two tensor permutation matrices permutate tensor product of rectangle matrices. Some examples, in the particular case of tensor commutation matrices, for studying some linear matrix equations are given.
The problem of normalisation of the modular forms in modular invariant lepton and quark flavour models is discussed. Modular invariant normalisations of the modular forms are proposed.
We consider tests of Lorentz invariance for the photon and fermion sector that use vacuum and matter-filled cavities. Assumptions on the wave-function of the electrons in crystals are eliminated from the underlying theory and accurate…
A manifestly covariant equation is derived to describe the second order perturbations in topological defects and membranes on arbitrary curved background spacetimes. This, on one hand, generalizes work on macroscopic strings in Minkowski…
Phenomenological implications of a class of lepton mass matrices with parallel texture structure have been examined and phenomenologically interesting constraints on charged lepton and neutrino mass matrix parameters have been obtained.
