Higher dimensional theories which address some of the problematic issues of the Standard Model(SM) naturally involve some form of $D=4+n$-dimensional Lorentz invariance violation (LIV). In such models the fundamental physics which leads to,…

We study bounds and signatures of models where the Higgs doublet has an inhomo- geneous mass or vacuum expectation value, being coupled to a hidden sector that breaks Lorentz invariance. This physics is best described by a low-energy…

In this talk, we explore the relation between smoothly varying couplings and Lorentz violation. Within the context of a supergravity model, we present an explicit mechanism that causes the effective fine-structure parameter and the…

We consider renormalizable Standard-Model extensions that violate Lorentz symmetry at high energies, but preserve CPT, and do not contain elementary scalar fields. A Nambu--Jona-Lasinio mechanism gives masses to fermions and gauge bosons,…

Low-energy remnant fundamental symmetry violations may be present in nature at levels attainable in upcoming experiments. These effects may arise through spontaneous symmetry breaking in a more complete Lorentz covariant theory underlying…

This brief review discusses Lorentz-violating operators of arbitrary dimension within the photon and neutrino sectors of the Standard-Model Extension.

Lorentz violation has been a popular field in recent years in the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. We present a general method to build all Lorentz-violating terms in gauge field theories, including ones involving operators…

We consider two alternative dark energy models: a Lorentz invariance preserving model with a nonminimally coupled scalar field and a Lorentz invariance violating model with a minimally coupled scalar field. We study accelerated expansion…

Astroparticle physics has recently reached a new status of precision due to the construction of new observatories, operating innovative technologies and the detection of large numbers of events and sources. The precise measurements of…

Signals of CPT and Lorentz violation are possible in the context of spectroscopy using hydrogen and antihydrogen. We apply the Standard-Model Extension, a broad framework for Lorentz breaking in physics, to various transitions in the…

We revisit here the naturalness problem of Lorentz invariance violations on a simple toy model of a scalar field coupled to a fermion field via a Yukawa interaction. We first review some well-known results concerning the low-energy…

In previous papers (e.g. physics/0003080 and references therein), it was pointed out that Lorentz symmetry violation (LSV) at Planck scale can play a crucial role in astrophysical processes at very high energy. It can potentially inhibit…

We search for novel Lorentz- and CPT-violating field theories, beyond those contained in the superficially renormalizable standard model extension. We find a new class of scalar field self-interactions which are nonpolynomial in form,…

In the context of conventional quantum field theory, we present a general Lorentz-violating extension of the minimal SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) standard model including CPT-even and CPT-odd terms. It can be viewed as the low-energy limit of a…

We present heuristic arguments that hint to a possible connection of Lorentz violation with observed phenomenon in condensed matter physics. Various references from condensed matter literature are cited where operators in the Standard Model…

Assuming Lorentz symmetry is broken by some fixed vector background, we study the spinor electrodynamics modified by two dimension-five Lorentz-violating interactions between fermions and photons. The effective polarization and…

An anisotropic model describing gravity--vector gauge coupling at all energy scales is presented. The starting point is the 4+1 dimensional non--projectable Ho\v{r}ava--Lifshitz gravity theory subject to a geometrical restriction.…

Broken spacetime symmetries might emerge from a fundamental physical theory. The effective low-energy theory might be expected to exhibit violations of supersymmetry and Lorentz invariance. Some illustrative models which combine…

We classify the unitary, renormalizable, Lorentz violating quantum field theories of interacting scalars and fermions, obtained improving the behavior of Feynman diagrams by means of higher space derivatives. Higher time derivatives are not…

Spontaneous Lorentz violation is a viable mechanism to look for Planck scale physics. In this work, we study spontaneous Lorentz violation models, in flat spacetime, where a vector field produces such a violation and matter is modeled by a…
