Physical (ir)relevance of ambiguities to Lorentz and CPT violation in QED

arXiv:hep-th/0102021 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2001/04/032

Abstract

We discuss the regularization and renormalization of QED with Lorentz and CPT violation, and argue that the coefficient of the Chern-Simons term is an independent parameter not determined by gauge invariance. We also study these issues in a model with spontaneous breaking of Lorentz and CPT symmetries and find an explicit relation with the ABJ anomaly. This explains the observed convergence of the induced Chern-Simons term.
