Lorentz-violating electrodynamics
Searches for Lorentz violation involving photons are among the best tests of relativity. Examples range from modern versions of the classic Michelson-Morley experiment that utilize highly stable electromagnetic resonant cavities to searches for tiny deviations from ''c'' in the speed of light emitted by distant astrophysical sources. Due to the extreme distances involved, astrophysical studies have achieved sensitivities on the order of parts in 1038.
== Minimal Lorentz-violating electrodynamics ==
The most general framework
for studies of relativity violations
is an effective field theory called the
Standard-Model Extension (SME).〔

Lorentz-violating operators in the SME
are classified by their mass dimension d.
To date, the most widely studied limit of the SME
is the minimal SME,〔
V.A. Kostelecky and M. Mewes, Signals for Lorentz violation in electrodynamics, Phys. Rev. D 66, 056005 (2002).〕
which limits attention to operators
of renormalizable mass-dimension, d=3,4,
in flat spacetime.
Within the minimal SME,
photons are governed by the lagrangian density

\mathcal =
-\textstyle\,F_F^
+\textstyle\,(k_)^\kappa\,\epsilon_A^\lambda F^
-\textstyle\,(k_F)_F^F^.

The first term on the right-hand side
is the conventional Maxwell lagrangian
and gives rise to the usual source-free Maxwell equations.
The next term violates both Lorentz and CPT invariance
and is constructed from a dimension d=3 operator
and a constant coefficient
for Lorentz violation (k_)^\kappa.〔

Radiatively Induced Lorentz and CPT Violation in Electrodynamics,

The second term introduces Lorentz violation,
but preserves CPT invariance.
It consists of a dimension d=4 operator
contracted with constant coefficients for Lorentz violation
(k_F)_.〔

Cosmological constraints on Lorentz violation in electrodynamics,
Phys.Rev.Lett. 87, 251304 (2001).〕
There are a total of four independent
(k_)^\kappa coefficients and
nineteen (k_F)_ coefficients.
Both Lorentz-violating terms are invariant
under observer Lorentz transformations,
implying that the physics in independent
of observer or coordinate choice.
However, the coefficient tensors
(k_)^\kappa and
(k_F)_
are outside the control of experimenters
and can be viewed as constant background
fields that fill the entire Universe,
introducing directionality to the otherwise
isotropic spacetime.
Photons interact with these background fields
and experience frame-dependent effects,
violating Lorentz invariance.
The mathematics describing Lorentz violation in photons is similar to that of conventional electromagnetism in dielectrics. As a result, many of the effects of Lorentz violation are also seen in light passing through transparent materials. These include changes in the speed that can depend on frequency, polarization, and direction of propagation. Consequently, Lorentz violation can introduce dispersion in light propagating in empty space. It can also introduce birefringence, an effect seen in crystals such as calcite. The best constraints on Lorentz violation come from constraints on birefringence in light from astrophysical sources.〔V.A. Kostelecky and M. Mewes, Astrophysical Tests of Lorentz and CPT Violation with Photons, Astrophys. J. Lett. 689, L1 (2008).〕
