Asymptotic single-particle states in quantum field theories with small departures from Lorentz symmetry are investigated perturbatively with focus on potential phenomenological ramifications. To this end, one-loop radiative corrections for a sample Lorentz-violating Lagrangian contained in the Standard-Model Extension (SME) are studied at linear order in Lorentz breakdown. It is found that the spinor kinetic operator, and thus the free-particle physics, is modified by Lorentz-violating operators absent from the original Lagrangian. As a consequence of this result, both the standard renormalization procedure as well as the Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmermann reduction formalism need to be adapted. The necessary adaptations are worked out explicitly at first order in Lorentz-breaking coefficients.

Radiative corrections in quantum field theories with small departures from Lorentz symmetry alter structural aspects of the theory, in particular the definition of asymptotic single-particle states. Specifically, the mass-shell condition, the standard renormalization procedure as well as the Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmermann reduction formalism are affected.
This paper presents divergent contributions of the radiative corrections for a Lorentz-violating extension of the scalar electrodynamics. We initially discuss some features of the model and extract the Feynman rules. Then we compute the one-loop radiative corrections using Feynman parametrization and dimensional regularization in order to evaluate the integrals. We also discuss Furrys theorem validity and renormalization in the present context.
In this paper we consider a Lorentz-breaking extension of the theory for a real massive scalar quantum field in the region between two large parallel plates, with our manner to break the Lorentz symmetry is CPT-even, aether-like. For this system we calculated the Casimir energy considering different boundary conditions. It turns out to be that the Casimir energy strongly depends on the direction of the constant vector implementing the Lorentz symmetry breaking, as well as on the boundary conditions.
We consider topological defects for the $lambdaphi^4$ theory in (1+1) dimensions with a Lorentz-violating background. It has been shown, by M. Barreto et al. (2006) cite{barreto2006defect}, one cannot have original effects in (the leading order of) single scalar field model. Here, we introduce a new Lorentz-violating term, next to leading order which cannot be absorbed by any redefinition of the scalar field or coordinates. Our term is the lowest order term which leads to concrete effects on the kink properties. We calculate the corrections to the kink shape and the corresponding mass. Quantization of the kink is performed and the revised modes are obtained. We find the bound and continuum states are affected due to this Lorentz symmetry violation.
In this paper we consider different classical effects in a model for a scalar field incorporating Lorentz symmetry breaking due to the presence of a single background vector v^{mu} coupled to its derivative. We perform an investigation of the interaction energy between stationary steady sources concentrated along parallel branes with an arbitrary number of dimensions, and derive from this study some physical consequences. For the case of the scalar dipole we show the emergence of a nontrivial torque, which is distinctive sign of the Lorentz violation. We also investigate a similar model in the presence of a semi-transparent mirror. For a general relative orientation between the mirror and the v^{mu}, we are able to perform calculations perturbatively in v^{mu} up to second order. We also find results without recourse to approximations for two special cases, that of the mirror and v^{mu} being parallel or perpendicular to each other. For all these configurations, the propagator for the scalar field and the interaction force between the mirror and a point-like field source are computed. It is shown that the image method is valid in our model for the Dirichlets boundary condition, and we argue that this is a non-trivial result. We also show the emergence of a torque on the mirror depending on its orientation with respect to the Lorentz violating background. This is a new effect with no counterpart in theories with Lorentz symmetry in the presence of mirrors.
