Induced Lorentz- and CPT -violating Chern-Simons term in QED: Fock-Schwinger proper time method
/ Authors
/ Abstract
Using the Fock-Schwinger proper time method, we calculate the induced Chern-Simons term arising from the Lorentz- and $\mathrm{CPT}$-violating sector of quantum electrodynamics with a ${b}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\overline{\ensuremath{\psi}}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{\ensuremath{\mu}}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{5}\ensuremath{\psi}$ term. Our result to all orders in b coincides with a recent linear-in-$b$ calculation by M. Chaichian, W. F. Chen, and A. Gonz\'alez Felipe, hep-th/0010129v2. The coincidence was pointed out by J.-M. Chung, Phys. Lett. B 461, 138 (1999) and M. P\'erez-Victoria, Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 2518 (1999), in the standard Feynman diagram calculation with the nonperturbative-in-$b$ propagator.
