Abstract: Our present contribution sets out to investigate how combined effects of Lorentz-symmetry violation (LSV) and Loop-Quantum-Gravity(LQG)-modified photon dispersion relations affect the threshold anomaly of cosmic photons. The point of departure is the post-Maxwellian version of Electromagnetism induced by LQG effects. We then consider the problem of gamma-ray attenuation by the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL) and the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB) dominated by the Breit-Wheeler Effect. By following this path, we aim at the establishment of a new bridge between LSV and astrophysical phenomena in the framework of LQG.
Investigating the Combined Effects of Lorentz-Symmetry Violation and Loop-Quantum-Gravity on Cosmic Photon Threshold Anomaly
In this article, we explore the potential implications of Lorentz-symmetry violation (LSV) and Loop-Quantum-Gravity (LQG) modified photon dispersion relations on the threshold anomaly of cosmic photons. Our research starts with the post-Maxwellian version of Electromagnetism induced by LQG effects. We then delve into the problem of gamma-ray attenuation by the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL) and the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB), focusing on the Breit-Wheeler Effect domination. Through this investigation, we aim to create a connection between LSV and astrophysical phenomena within the framework of LQG.

In order to validate the theoretical predictions, experimental verification is required. Designing and conducting experiments that can probe the effects of LSV and LQG on photon dispersion relations and the Breit-Wheeler Effect is a promising avenue for future research. This would involve collaborations between astrophysicists and experimental physicists to design innovative experiments and analyze the resulting data.
