Unitarity implications of $\tilde{F}_{μν}$ and $F_{μν}$ models with LIV in $e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow μ^{+}μ^{-}$

We studied two different models that included Lorentz Invariance Violation coupling in the scattering processes of $e^+e^- \rightarrow μ^+μ^-$. We found that using the model with the dual electromagnetic tensor $\tilde{F}_{μν}$ resulted in violations of unitarity in both vector and axial scenarios. On the other hand, using the model with nonminimal coupling with $F_{μν}$ preserved unitarity in both vector and axial cases. As a result, this could have significant implications, given that the nonminimal coupling model with the dual electromagnetic tensor $\tilde{F}_{μν}$ appeared to be potentially superior to the electromagnetic tensor $F_{μν}$. Therefore, we believe that these findings could provide a valuable guide for further exploration into the study of CPT and Lorentz breaking phenomena, with significant implications that are certainly nontrivial.

Lorentz violation in $γ$-pair production ($e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow γγ$)

This paper specifically focuses on the choice of a temporal background field over a spatial one in the context of Lorentz symmetry breaking. By examining the implications of this choice, we aim to understand the effects of Lorentz violation in different scenarios, with an emphasis on the consequences of adopting a purely temporal background field. In the analysis of $γ$-pair production, a brief approach in QED is presented, exploring the production of a pair of photons. Furthermore, the study investigates Lorentz violation with vectorial nonminimal coupling, analyzing the modifications introduced by this coupling in the scattering amplitude at the vertex. Additionally, Lorentz violation with axial-like nonminimal coupling is explored, with a particular focus. The additional coupling introduces further modifications to the scattering amplitude, highlighting the intricate nature of Lorentz symmetry breaking in different scenarios.
