The gauge sector of the SME with Lorentz-symmetry violation by symplectic projector method

Abstract

We propose to analyze a modified electromagnetism inspired from the gauge sector of the Standard Model extension (SME). From the point of view of a canonical formulation, we carried out the usual analysis on the constraints structure of the odd sector (Carroll–Field–Jackiw term) and a Maxwell term with an effective metric. This effective metric is obtained by a vectorial decomposition of the CPT-even term, that is absorbed in the ordinary Maxwell term. Using symplectic projector method (SPM), we obtain the dispersions relations and we have verified conditions of stability to determine the valid spectrum.
