Gauge field theories with Lorentz-violating operators of arbitrary dimension
Abstract
The classification of Lorentz- and CPT-violating operators in non-Abelian gauge field theories is performed. We construct all gauge-invariant terms describing propagation and interaction in the action for fermions and gauge fields. Restrictions to the Abelian, Lorentz-invariant, and isotropic limits are presented. We provide two illustrative applications of the results to quantum electrodynamics and quantum chromodynamics. First constraints on nonlinear Lorentz-violating effects in electrodynamics are obtained using data from experiments on photon-photon scattering, and corrections from nonminimal Lorentz and CPT violation to the cross section for deep inelastic scattering are derived.
