Electrodynamics Modified by Some Dimension-five Lorentz Violating Interactions: Radiative Corrections

We study radiative corrections to massless quantum electrodynamics modified by two dimension-five LV interactions $\barΨ γ^μ b'^ν F_{μν}Ψ$ and $\barΨγ^μb^ν \tilde{F}_{μν} Ψ$ in the framework of effective field theories. All divergent one-particle-irreducible Feynman diagrams are calculated at one-loop order and several related issues are discussed. It is found that massless quantum electrodynamics modified by the interaction $\barΨ γ^μ b'^ν F_{μν}Ψ$ alone is one-loop renormalizable and the result can be understood on the grounds of symmetry. In this context the one-loop Lorentz-violating beta function is derived and the corresponding running coefficients are obtained.
