Abstract

Neutrino experiments can be considered sensitive tools to test Lorentz and CPT invariance. Taking advantage of the great variety of neutrino experiments, including neutrino oscillations, weak decays, and astrophysical neutrinos, the generic experimental signatures of the breakdown of these fundamental symmetries in the neutrino sector are presented.

Rotating BTZ-like black hole and central charges in Einstein-bumblebee gravity

Chikun Ding, Yu Shi, Jun Chen, Yuebing Zhou, Changqing Liu, Yuehua Xiao

Summary: In this study, an exact rotating BTZ-like black hole solution is obtained by solving the gravitational field equations and bumblebee motion equations. The Lorentz symmetry is violated only in the radial direction and requires a linear functional potential for the bumblebee field. The black hole has two horizons and an ergosphere, which depend on the bumblebee coupling constant. The entropy-area relation, first law of thermodynamics, and Smarr formula can still be established in this LV spacetime due to the coupling between the bumblebee field and the Ricci tensor.

Renormalization scheme dependence of β-functions in Lorentz-violating quantum field theory

Sapan Karki, Brett Altschul

Summary: This article investigates redundancies of description in effective quantum field theories that allow for the possibility of Lorentz symmetry violation. The study shows that different renormalization schemes may lead to different expressions for the renormalization group beta-functions, but the renormalization group scaling of physically observable quantities appears not to be affected by this scheme dependence.

The future perspectives for possible CPT and Lorentz violating systems are also discussed.

Carlos A. Argueelles, Teppei Katori

Summary: The search for Lorentz violation is an active research field, with LV effects expected to be very small. High-energy astrophysical neutrinos provide a unique system to search for LV signatures, due to the three factors mentioned in the brief review.

Improved Bounds on Lorentz Symmetry Violation from High-Energy Astrophysical Sources

Brett Altschul

Summary: Observations of synchrotron and inverse Compton emissions from ultrarelativistic electrons in astrophysical sources provide important insights into the energy-momentum relations of these electrons and can effectively constrain Lorentz violation in the electron sector, with recent gamma-ray telescope data showing constraints at the level of 7x10(-16) or better.

Covariant coordinate transformations and scalar-field - matter interactions

Stanley A. Bruce

Summary: We propose a classical Lorentz invariant model for the interaction between local scalar fields and matter, where the spatial and temporal coordinates of a particle are modified by a background Klein-Gordon field. We discuss two examples at the quantum mechanical level to help understand the basics of the theory.

Black holes with a cosmological constant in bumblebee gravity

R. Maluf, Juliano C. S. Neves

Summary: This work introduces black hole solutions with a cosmological constant in bumblebee gravity, where the nonzero vacuum expectation value of the bumblebee field leads to Lorentz symmetry violation. These solutions are spherically symmetric black holes with an effective cosmological constant, supported by an anisotropic energy-momentum tensor. The study calculates the shadow angular radius for the proposed black hole solution, establishing a relationship between the bumblebee field and the shadow angular size for the first time.

Non-Abelian Carroll-Field-Jackiw term in a Rarita-Schwinger model

M. Gomes, J. G. Lima, T. Mariz, J. R. Nascimento, A. Yu. Petrov

Summary: In this paper, we demonstrate the possibility of generating a non-Abelian Carroll-Field-Jackiw (CFJ) term in the theory of a non-Abelian gauge field coupled to a spin-3/2 field in the presence of the constant axial vector field. Applying two regularization schemes, we prove that this term is finite and ambiguous, particularly vanishing within the 't Hooft-Veltman scheme.

Electric manipulation of domain walls in magnetic Weyl semimetals via the axial anomaly

Julia Hannukainen, Alberto Cortijo, Jens H. Bardarson, Yago Ferreiros

Summary: The axial anomaly in magnetic Weyl semimetals induces a spin torque on the magnetization, the intensity of which can be controlled by the applied electric field. This affects the chirality and dynamics of domain walls, delaying the onset of the Walker breakdown. Quantum fluctuations of electronic Fermi arc states bound to the domain wall also induce an effective magnetic anisotropy, allowing for high domain wall velocities.

Searches for beyond-Riemann gravity

V. Alan Kostelecky, Zonghao Li

Summary: Many effective field theories describing gravity cannot be derived from Riemann geometry or its extensions, but may instead emerge from another geometry or have a nongeometric basis. The study investigates the Lagrange density for a broad class of such theories and derives the nonrelativistic Hamiltonian, focusing on anomalous spin-gravity couplings. Some constraints on coefficients are extracted from existing data, and prospects for future experimental studies are discussed.

Polarizations of gravitational waves in the bumblebee gravity model

Dicong Liang, Rui Xu, Xuchen Lu, Lijing Shao

Summary: This study reveals the effects of Lorentz violation on gravitational waves, including modifications to their dispersion relation, induction of birefringence and anisotropy in propagation. The researchers used gauge invariants to investigate the polarizations of gravitational waves in the bumblebee gravity model and found multiple polarizations. They also discussed the differences between the bumblebee gravity model and the minimal Standard-Model Extension framework in the linearized regime.

Lorentz- and CPT-violating neutrinos from string/D-brane model

Chengyi Li, Bo-Qiang Ma

Summary: We present a scenario based on the space-time foam model from string/D-brane theory in which neutrinos can have linearly energy dependent speed variation and an asymmetry between neutrinos and antineutrinos, suggesting a potential violation of Lorentz and CPT symmetry for neutrinos. This scenario is supported by a phenomenological conjecture linking IceCube ultrahigh-energy neutrino events with gamma-ray bursts and is consistent with constraints imposed by energy-losing decay channels on superluminal neutrino velocities. We argue that violations of energy-momentum conservation during decay could explain the stable propagation of these neutrinos and the evasion of relevant constraints.

Detection of QCD axion dark matter by coherent scattering

Hajime Fukuda, Satoshi Shirai

Summary: This paper discusses the elastic scattering processes between nucleons and the QCD axion dark matter, and points out that the cross section can be significantly enhanced by the coherent effect. Additionally, the stimulated emission effects and the high number density of the axion DM can further enhance the scattering cross section. However, the cancellation of the stimulated emission factor reduces the force to a small value that is difficult to detect.

Energetic output of the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption from pressure measurements

J. S. Diaz, S. E. Rigby

Summary: The violent eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai island volcano on January 15, 2022, generated a powerful pressure wave recorded by instruments worldwide. By analyzing public reports on social media, researchers measured the velocity of the wave using the arrival time of its first passage, and found it to be a constant 1114 +/- 2 km/h (309 +/- 1 m/s). Utilizing measurements from various sources, an empirical pressure-distance relation was used to estimate the energetic output of the eruption, which was found to be approximately equivalent to 61 Mt, surpassing the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens and slightly higher than the yield of Tsar Bomba, the largest human-made explosion in history.
