We address the question whether a violation of Lorentz symmetry can explain the tension between the measurement and the Standard-Model prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon ($(g-2)_{\mu}$) and whether it can significantly…
It is shown that the problem of a possible violation of the Lorentz transformations at Lorentz factors $\gamma >5\times 10^{10} ,$ indicated by the situation which has developed in the physics of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (the absence…
The lensing at large deflection angles caused by a Schwarzschild black hole for the case of a nonminimal coupling between gravitation and electromagnetism is examined. We show that photons follow an effective geometry, which displays an…
Efforts to place limits on deviations from canonical formulations of electromagnetism and gravity have probed length scales increasing dramatically over time.Historically, these studies have passed through three stages: (1) Testing the…
Effective field theory (EFT) provides a systematic framework to describe possible deviations from general relativity through higher-curvature corrections to the gravitational action, capturing low-energy effects of an underlying fundamental…
The recent direct detection of gravitational waves reported by Advanced LIGO has inspired the current article. In this context, a particular Lorentz-violating framework for classical, massive particles is the focus. The latter is…
The general charge-conserving effective scalar field theory incorporating violations of Lorentz symmetry is presented. The dispersion relation is used to infer the effects of spin-independent Lorentz violation on point-particle motion. A…
An experimental test of the Newtonian inverse square law at short range has been used to set limits on Lorentz violation in the pure gravity sector of the Standard-Model Extension. On account of the planar test mass geometry, nominally null…
We extend a previous phenomenological analysis of photon lensing in an external gravitational background to the case of a massless neutrino, and propose a method to incorporate radiative effects in the classical lens equations of neutrinos…
We investigate the relativistic dynamics of a spin half particle in the presence of a Lorentz-violating background within the framework of effective field theory. A modified Dirac Hamiltonian is considered, arising from a CPT odd coupling…
The classical propagation of certain Lorentz-violating fermions is known to be governed by geodesics of a four-dimensional pseudo-Finsler $b$ space parametrized by a prescribed background covector field. This work identifies systems in…
The possibility of geometrization of the gravitational and electro magnetic fields in 4D Finsler space (the Model of Embedded Spaces -- MES) is investigated. The model postulates a proper metric set of an element of distributed matter and…
Photons and thermal photons are studied in the Rindler Wedge employing Feynman's gauge and canonical quantization. A Gupta-Bleuler-like formalism is explicitly implemented. Non thermal Wightman functions and related (Euclidean and…
This small review is devoted to $\gamma\gamma$ collisions including methods of creating the colliding $\gamma \gamma$ beams of high energy and physical problems which can be solved or clarified in such collisions. Contents: 1. Introduction…
We study two (massless free field) models, a photon/photino model with a vector gauge field and a Majorana spinor field, and a Wess-Zumino model. They each exhibit Lorentz symmetry violation but retain, in an appropriate way, the…
The classical electromagnetic field of a spinless point electron is described in a formalism with extended causality by discrete finite transverse point-vector fields with discrete and localized point interactions. These fields are taken as…
Lorentz invariance, the fundamental symmetry of Einstein's theory of Special Relativity, has been established and tested by many classical and modern experiments. However, many theories that unify the Standard Model of particle physics and…
Light pseudoscalars, or axion like particles (ALPs), are much studied due to their potential relevance to the fields of particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. The most relevant coupling of ALPs from the viewpoint of current…
Perturbative calculations in quantum field theory often require the regularization of infrared divergences. In quantum electrodynamics, such a regularization can for example be accomplished by a photon mass introduced via the Stueckelberg…
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…
