Stability and causality are investigated for quantum field theories incorporating Lorentz $\mathrm{CPT}$ violation. Explicit calculations in the quadratic sector of a general renormalizable Lagrangian massive fermion reveal that no difficulty arises low energies if parameters controlling breaking small, but high either energy positivity or microcausality is violated some observer frame. However, this can be avoided sub-Planck limit nonlocal theory with spontaneous Our analysis supports...

Abstract Neutrinos are one of the most promising messengers for signals new physics Beyond Standard Model (BSM). On theoretical side, their elusive nature, combined with unknown mass mechanism, seems to indicate that neutrino sector is indeed opening a window physics. experimental several long-standing anomalies have been reported in past decades, providing strong motivation thoroughly test standard three-neutrino oscillation paradigm. In this Snowmass21 white paper, we explore potential...

Spacetime-varying coupling constants can be associated with violations of local Lorentz invariance and CPT symmetry. An analytical supergravity cosmology a time-varying fine-structure constant provides an explicit example. Estimates are made for some experimental constraints.

In the context of threshold investigations Lorentz violation, we discuss fundamental principle coordinate independence, role an effective dynamical framework, and conditions positivity causality. Our analysis excludes a variety previously considered Lorentz-breaking parameters opens avenue for viable dispersion-relation violation.

We consider the possibility that Lorentz violation can generate differences between limiting velocities of light and charged matter. Such effects would lead to efficient vacuum Cherenkov radiation or rapid photon decay. The absence such for 104.5 GeV electrons at Large Electron Positron collider 300 photons Tevatron therefore constrains this type breakdown. Within context standard-model extension, these ideas imply an experimental bound level...

All quadratic translation- and gauge-invariant photon operators for Lorentz breakdown are included into the Stueckelberg Lagrangian massive photons in a generalized \xi-gauge. The corresponding dispersion relation tree-level propagator determined exactly, some leading-order results derived. question of how to include such Lorentz-violating effects perturbative quantum-field expansion is addressed. Applications these within Lorentz-breaking quantum field theories regularization infrared...

The classical propagation of certain Lorentz-violating fermions is known to be governed by geodesics a four-dimensional pseudo-Finsler $b$ space parametrized prescribed background covector field. This work identifies systems in physics that are the three-dimensional version Finsler and constructs geodesic for sample non-constant choice covector. existence these analogues demonstrates spaces possess applications conventional physics, which may yield insight into SME on curved manifolds.

Many candidate fundamental theories contain scalar fields that can acquire spacetime-varying expectation values in a cosmological context. Such scalars typically obey Lorentz-violating effective dispersion relations. We illustrate this fact within simple supergravity model also exhibits the observed late-time acceleration and implies varying electromagnetic couplings.

Asymptotic single-particle states in quantum field theories with small departures from Lorentz symmetry are investigated perturbatively focus on potential phenomenological ramifications. To this end, one-loop radiative corrections for a sample Lorentz-violating Lagrangian contained the Standard-Model Extension studied at linear order breakdown. It is found that spinor kinetic operator, and thus free-particle physics, modified by operators absent original Lagrangian. As consequence of result,...

Recently, there is an increasing popularity of video streaming services over IP networks, e.g., IPTV, whose successes strongly depend on the quality experienced by end users. However, QoE/QoSE (Quality Experience/Quality Service Experienced) these can be degraded due to packet losses during delivery. On other side, understand how loss impacts essentially for ISPs optimize their network design and engineering. In this paper we present our experimental results evaluating MPEG-4 in presence...

A localization algorithm that is often used by sensor nodes Min-Max [1] [2]. This can be easily executed due to the fact it principally consists of few additions, subtractions and logical comparisons. However, provides a coarse position estimation. In our proposal we improve accuracy including simple extra operations. We compare extended (E-Min-Max) with other algorithms using simulation.

We consider the neutrino (and antineutrino) flavors arriving at Earth for neutrinos produced in annihilation of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) sun's core. Solar-matter effects on flavor propagation resulting $\ensuremath{\gtrsim}\mathrm{GeV}$ are studied analytically within a density-matrix formalism. Matter effects, including mass-state level crossings, influence fluxes considerably. The exposition herein is somewhat pedagogical, that it starts with adiabatic evolution single...
