In theories with extra dimensions it is well known that the Lorentz invariance of the D = 4+n-dimensional spacetime is lost due to the compactified nature of the n dimensions leaving invariance only in 4d. In such theories other sources of Lorentz violation may exist associated with the physics that initiated the compactification process at high scales. Here we consider the possibility of capturing some of this physics by analyzing the higher dimensional analog of the model of Colladay and…

Lorentz violation in warped extra dimensions

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…

Implications of Lorentz symmetry violation on a 5D supersymmetric model

Field models with n extra spatial dimensions have a larger SO(1, 3 + n) Lorentz symmetry which is broken down to the standard SO(1, 3) four-dimensional one by the compactification process. By…

Gauge invariance, quantization and integration of heavy modes in a gauge Kaluza-Klein theory

We start from a pure Yang-Mills theory defined on a spacetime with one universal extra dimension that we orbifold-compactify. We obtain a Kaluza-Klein (KK) theory by expanding in KK towers covariant…

Æther field, Casimir energy and stabilization of the extra dimension

In our five-dimensional cosmological model, we investigate the role of a Lorentz violating vector ``aether" field on the moduli stabilization mechanism. We consider the case of a space-like aether…

Optimal estimation of parameters for scalar fields in expanding universe exhibiting Lorentz invariance violation.

We address the optimal estimation of quantum parameters, in the framework of local quantum estimation theory, for a massive scalar quantum field in the expanding Robertson-Walker universe exhibiting…

Spectra of field fluctuations in braneworld models with broken Lorentz invariance

We investigate five-dimensional braneworld setups with broken Lorentz invariance continuing the developments of [P. Koroteev and M. Libanov, J. High Energy Phys. 02 (2008) 104], where a family of…

A Modified Gravity Theory: Null Aether

General quantum gravity arguments predict that Lorentz symmetry might not hold exactly in nature. This has motivated much interest in Lorentz breaking gravity theories recently. Among such models are…

Optimal estimation of parameters for scalar field in an expanding spacetime exhibiting Lorentz invariance violation

It is proved that the appropriate momentum mode of field particles and larger cosmological parameters can provide us a better precision in the estimation of LIV parameter during the spacetime expansion.

Testing Lorentz Invariance Violation in Quantum Gravity Theories

Much research has been done in the latter years on the subject of Lorentz violation induced by Quantum Gravity effects. On the theoretical side it has been shown that both Loop Quantum Gravity and…

Gravity, Lorentz violation, and the standard model

The role of the gravitational sector in the Lorentz- and CPT-violating standard-model extension ~SME! is studied. A framework is developed for addressing this topic in the context of Riemann-Cartan…

Universal dynamics of spontaneous Lorentz violation and a new spin-dependent inverse-square law force

We study the universal low-energy dynamics associated with the spontaneous breaking of Lorentz invariance down to spatial rotations. The effective lagrangian for the associated Goldstone field can be…

Opaque branes in warped backgrounds

We examine localized kinetic terms for gauge fields which can propagate into compact, warped extra dimensions. We show that these terms can have a relevant impact on the values of the Kaluza-Klein…

Probes of universal extra dimensions at colliders

In the Universal Extra Dimensions model of Appelquist, Cheng and Dobrescu, all of the Standard Model fields are placed in the bulk and thus have Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations. These KK states can…
