Vector Superfields and Lorentz Violation
@article{Colladay2011VectorSA, title={Vector Superfields and Lorentz Violation}, author={Don Colladay and Patrick Mcdonald}, journal={Physical Review D}, year={2011}, volume={83}, pages={025021} }
We extend Lorentz-violating supersymmetry models to include vector superfields. The CPT-preserving model generalizes easily, while the obvious attempt at generalizing the CPT-violating model meets serious obstructions. Generalizations of the CPT-preserving but Lorentz-violating model to higher dimensions are also straightforward. Compactification is used to reduce the six-dimensional theory to an N=2 Lorentz-violating theory in four dimensions, while the ten-dimensional theory is used to…
