Don Colladay, Patrick McDonald
TL;DR
This paper investigates the one-loop renormalization of the electroweak sector within the Standard Model Extension incorporating Lorentz violation, demonstrating that the theory remains consistent and effectively unaltered at this quantum level.
Contribution
It provides a detailed calculation showing that Lorentz-violating parameters can be absorbed through renormalization, preserving the structure of electroweak symmetry breaking.
Findings
Renormalization constants absorb Lorentz-violating divergences
Electroweak symmetry breaking remains unaffected
Results support the consistency of SME with Lorentz violation at one-loop level
Abstract
The one-loop renormalizability of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model Extension with Lorentz violation is studied. Functional determinants are used to calculate the one-loop contributions of the higgs, gauge bosons and fermions to the one-loop effective action. The results are consistent with multiplicative renormalization of the SME coupling constants. Conventional Electroweak symmetry breaking is effectively unaltered relative to the standard case as the renormalized SME parameters are sufficient to absorb all infinite contributions.
