We study a five-dimensional (5D) framework based on the \(U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}\) gauge symmetry, where the associated gauge field \(V\) propagates in the bulk, giving rise to an infinite tower of Kaluza--Klein (KK) excitations \(V^{(n)}\)…
This paper deals with situations that illustrate how the violation of Lorentz symmetry in the gauge sector may contribute to magnetic moment generation of massive neutral particles with spin-1/2 and spin-1. The procedure we adopt here is…
We reconsider Lorentz Violation (LV) at the fundamental level. We show that Lorentz Violation is intimately connected with gravity and that LV couplings in QFT must always be fields in a gravitational sector. Diffeomorphism invariance must…
In the calculation of the anomalous magnetic moment of $W^\pm$ bosons, we discuss vector anomalies occuring in the fermion loop that spoil the predictive power of the theory. While the previous analyses were limited to using essentially the…

In this work, we derive the conditions that assure gauge invariance of a non-minimal dimension-5 Lorentz-violating QED. The two and three point functions at one-loop are computed. The gauge Ward identities are checked and the conditions to…
In this contribution, our efforts consist in presenting and discussing the status of a paper in progress we are working on to investigate how non-linear electromagnetic effects couple to the parameters that signal Lorentz-symmetry violation…
Lepton flavor violation (LFV) has been observed in neutrino oscillations. For charged lepton FV decays only upper limits are known, but sizable branching ratios are expected in many neutrino mass models. High scale models, such as the…
The quartic scalar coupling $\lambda_5$ term, which violates the lepton-number by two units in the Ma-model, is phenomenologically small when the model is applied to the lepton-flavor violation (LFV) processes. In order to dynamically…
