We consider a scenario where local Lorentz invariance is violated by the existence of a preferred time direction at every space-time point. This scenario can arise in the context of quantum gravity and its description at low energies…

Not only the Dirac operator, but also the spinor bundle of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold depends on the underlying metric. This leads to technical difficulties in the study of problems where many metrics are involved, for instance in…
The presence of a nonconformally invariant term in the photon sector of the Lorentz-violating extension of Standard Model of particle physics, the "Kosteleck\'{y} term" $\mathcal{L}_K \propto (k_F)_{\alpha \beta \mu \nu} F^{\alpha \beta}…

We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by a variable exponent $p$-Laplacian plus an indefinite potential term. The reaction has the competing effects of a parametric concave (sublinear) term and of a convex (superlinear)…
Lorentz invariance is one of the fundamental principles of physics, and, as such, it must be experimentally tested. The purpose of this work is to obtain, within the Standard-Model Extension, the dynamics of a Lorentz-violating spinor in a…
We study remaining Lorentz symmetry, i.e. Lorentz transformations which leave the noncommutativity parameter $\theta^{\mu\nu}$ invariant, within the approach of time-ordered perturbation theory (TOPT) to space-time noncommutative theories.…
In this paper, we analysis the dynamics, at the quantum level, of the self-dual field minimally coupled to bosons with Lorentz symmetry breaking. We quantize the model by applying the Dirac bracket canonical quantization procedure. In…
Minuscule violations of CPT and Lorentz invariance might arise in an extension of the standard model as suppressed effects from a more fundamental theory. In this contribution to the CarruthersFest, I present and answer some questions about…

If physics at the Planck scale requires new conceptions of space-time, then generic renormalizable field theories predict observable violations of Lorentz invariance in the low energy sector. The little recognized ``Lorentz Fine Tuning…
