Lorentz and CPT violations in QED : a short comment on recent controversies

Abstract

We rediscuss the recent controversy on a possible Chern-Simons like term generated through radiative corrections in QED with a CPT violating term. We emphasize the fact that any absence of an {\sl a priori} divergence should be explained by some symmetry or some non-renormalisation theorem : otherwise, no prediction can be made on the corresponding quantity.
