Renormalization in Nonminimal Lorentz-Violating Field Theory

Abstract

We provide the first step towards renormalization in a nonminimal Lorentz-violating model consisting of normal scalars and modified fermions with mass dimension five operators. We compute the radiative corrections corresponding to the scalar self-energy, and we show that some divergencies are improved and in the scalar sector they are finite. The pole mass of the scalar two-point function is found and shown to lead to modifications of asymptotic states.
