Dynamical Lorentz symmetry breaking in 3D and charge fractionalization

arXiv:0809.1627 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.79.065007

Abstract

We analyze the breaking of Lorentz invariance in a 3D model of fermion fields self-coupled through four-fermion interactions. The low-energy limit of the theory contains various sub-models which are similar to those used in the study of the graphene or in the description of irrational charge fractionalization.
