Abstract

Radiative corrections arising from the axial coupling of charged fermions to a constant vector bμcan induce a Lorentz- and CPT-violating Chern-Simons term in the QED action. We calculate the exact one-loop correction to this term keeping the full bμdependence, and show that in the physically interesting cases it coincides with the lowest-order result. The effect of regularization and renormalization and the implications of the result are briefly discussed.
