Lorentz violation in hadronic systems is related to Lorentz-violating operators of quarks and gluons. Due to the nonperturbative nature of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at low energies, establishing these relationships is complex. Chiral…

In the electromagnetism of loop quantum gravity, two helicities of a photon have different phase velocities and group velocities, termed as "vacuum birefringence". Two novel phenomenons, "peak doubling" and "de-polarization", are expected…
