On the ambiguities in the effective action in Lorentz-violating gravity
We investigate the occurrence of ambiguities for Lorentz-violating gravitational Chern-Simons term. It turns out that this term is accompanied by a coefficient depending on an undetermined parameter, due to an arbitrariness in the choice of the conserved current.

Dynamical Lorentz and CPT symmetry breaking in a 4D four-fermion model
In a 4D chiral Thirring model we analyse the possibility that radiative corrections may produce spontaneous breaking of Lorentz and CPT symmetry. By studying the effective potential, we verified that the chiral current $\barψγ^μ γ_5 ψ$ may assume a nonzero vacuum expectation value which triggers the Lorentz and CPT violations. Furthermore, by making fluctuations on the minimum of the potential we dynamically induce a bumblebee like model containing a Chern-Simons term.

Anomaly cancellation in three-dimensional noncommutative gauge theories
The anomaly found by Callan and Harvey is shown to be cancelled in a three-dimensional noncommutative gauge theory coupled to a fermion with a mass function depending on one spatial coordinate (domain wall mass). This evaluation has been done for the fermion in the fundamental and adjoint representations of the gauge group in the limit of small noncommutativity $θ$ parameter.

Lorentz violation and the proper-time method
In this paper, we apply the proper-time method to generate the Lorentz-violating Chern-Simons terms in the four-dimensional Yang-Mills and non-linearized gravity theories. It is shown that the coefficient of the induced Chern-Simons term is finite but regularization dependent.

Remarks on Lorentz and CPT violation in field theory
In this brief review we explicitly calculate the radiative corrections to the Chern-Simons-like term in the cases of zero and finite temperature, and in the gravity theory. Our results are obtained under the general guidance of dimensional regularization.

A Remark on Lorentz Violation at Finite Temperature
We investigate the radiatively induced Chern-Simons-like term in four-dimensional field theory at finite temperature. The Chern-Simons-like term is temperature dependent and breaks the Lorentz and CPT symmetries. We find that this term remains undetermined although it can be found unambiguously in different regularization schemes at finite temperature.

Searching for the dual of the Maxwell-Chern-Simons model minimally coupled to dynamical U(1) charged matter
The possibility of dual equivalence between the self-dual and the Maxwell-Chern-Simons (MCS) models when the latter is coupled to dynamical, U(1) fermionic charged matter is examined. The proper coupling in the self-dual model is then disclosed using the iterative gauge embedding approach. We found that the self-dual potential needs to couple directly to the Chern-Kernel of the source in order to establish this equivalence besides the need for a self-interaction term to render the matter sector unchanged.

Issues of duality on non-commutative manifolds: the {\it non-equivalence} between self-dual and topologically massive models
We study issues of duality and dual equivalence in non-commutative manifolds. In particular the question of dual equivalence for the actions of the non-commutative extensions of the self-dual model (NC-SD) in 3D space-time and the Maxwell-Chern-Simons model (MCS-SD) is investigate. We show that former model {\it is not} dual equivalent the non-commutative extension of the Maxwell-Chern-Simons model, as widely believed, but a to deformed version of it that is disclosed here. Our results are not restrict to any finite order in the Seiberg-Witten expansion involving the non-commutative parameter $θ$.

Chern-Simons-like action induced radiatively in General Relativity
The Chern-Simons-like gravitational action is evaluated explicitly in four dimensional space-time by radiative corrections at one-loop level. The calculation is performed in fermionic sector where the Dirac fermions interact with the background gravitational field, including the parity-violating term \barψ\bsγ_5ψ. The investigation takes into account the weak field approximation and dimensional regularization scheme.

Noncommutative massive Thirring model in three-dimensional spacetime
We evaluate the noncommutative Chern-Simons action induced by fermions interacting with an Abelian gauge field in a noncommutative massive Thirring model in (2+1)-dimensional spacetime. This calculation is performed in the Dirac and Majorana representations. We observe that in Majorana representation when $θ$ goes to zero we do not have induced Chern-Simons term in the dimensional regularization scheme.

Lorentz and CPT symmetries in commutative and noncommutative spacetime
We investigate the fermionic sector of a given theory, in which massive and charged Dirac fermions interact with an Abelian gauge field, including a non standard contribution that violates both Lorentz and CPT symmetries. We offer an explicit calculation in which the radiative corrections due to the fermions seem to generate a Chern-Simons-like effective action. Our results are obtained under the general guidance of dimensional regularization, and they show that there is no room for Lorentz and CPT violation in both commutative and noncommutative spacetime.

Ward identity in noncommutative QED
Although noncommutative QED presents a nonabelian structure, it does not present structure constants. In view of this we investigate how Ward identity is satisfied in pair annihilation process and $γγ\to γγ$ scattering in noncommutative QED.
