High-energy tests of Lorentz invariance
@article{Coleman1999HighenergyTO, title={High-energy tests of Lorentz invariance}, author={Sidney Richard Coleman and Sheldon Lee Glashow}, journal={Physical Review D}, year={1999}, volume={59}, pages={116008} }
We develop a perturbative framework with which to discuss departures from exact Lorentz invariance and explore their potentially observable ramifications. Tiny noninvariant terms introduced into the standard model Lagrangian are assumed to be renormalizable (dimension \ensuremath{\leqslant}4), invariant under $\mathrm{SU}(3)\ensuremath{\bigotimes}\mathrm{SU}(2)\ensuremath{\bigotimes}U(1)$ gauge transformations, and rotationally and translationally invariant in a preferred frame. There are a…

Low-energy phenomenology of scalarless standard-model extensions with high-energy Lorentz violation

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…
Dimensional reduction of a Lorentz- and CPT-violating Maxwell-Chern-Simons model
- Physics

Taking as a starting point a Lorentz and CPT noninvariant Chern-Simons-like model defined in $1+3$ dimensions, we proceed to realize its dimensional reduction to $D=1+2.$ One then obtains a new…
Standard model with partial gauge invariance
- Physics

We argue that an exact gauge invariance may disable some generic features of the Standard Model which could otherwise manifest themselves at high energies. One of them might be related to the…
Lorentz-violating supersymmetric quantum field theories

We study the possibility of constructing Lorentz-violating supersymmetric quantum field theories under the assumption that these theories have to be described by Lagrangians which are renormalizable…
Spontaneous Lorentz breaking at high energies

Theories that spontaneously break Lorentz invariance also violate diffeomorphism symmetries, implying the existence of extra degrees of freedom and modifications of gravity. In the minimal model…

We perform a systematic study of various versions of massive gravity with and without violations of the Lorentz symmetry in arbitrary dimension. These theories are well known to possess very unusual…

We study phenomena predicted by a renormalizable, CPT invariant extension of the standard model that contains higher-dimensional operators and violates Lorentz symmetry explicitly at energies greater…
Standard Model without elementary scalars and high energy Lorentz violation

If Lorentz symmetry is violated at high energies, interactions that are usually non-renormalizable can become renormalizable by weighted power counting. Recently, a CPT invariant, Lorentz violating…

Conceivable Lorentz-violating effects in the neutrino sector remain a research area of great general interest, as they touch upon the very foundations on which the Standard Model and our general…
