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.
