Renormalization Group Running of the Parity Operator in Lorentz-Violating Quantum Field Theory

Abstract

In conventional relativistic quantum field theory, the discrete operators $\text{C}$, $\text{P}$, and $\text{T}$ are matrix operators with no renormalization scale dependence. However, in a Lorentz-violating theory with a fermion $f^{\mu }$ term in the action, these operators may acquire nontrivial renormalization group behavior. Because the $f^{\mu }$ term may actually be exchanged in the action for an equivalent $c^{\nu \mu }$ term, the scale dependence depends explicitly on the renormalization scheme, even at one-loop order. The scheme dependence means it is always possible to set the scale dependence parameter $1-X$ to zero, but for analyses of some high-energy electron-photon processes, using a scheme with $X=0-$and thus definite scale dependences for $\text{C}$, $\text{P}$, and $\text{T}-$may nonetheless be more convenient.
