The standard model and general relativity are local Lorentz invariants. However it is possible that at Planck scale there may be a breakdown of Lorentz symmetry. Models with Lorentz violation are constructed using Standard Model Extension (SME). Here gravitational sector of the SME is considered to analyze the Lorentz violation in Gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM). Using the energy-momentum tensor, the Stefan-Boltzmann law and Casimir effect are calculated at finite temperature to ascertain the level of local Lorentz violation. Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD) formalism is used to introduce temperature effects.
Lorentz and CPT symmetries play a central role in the Standard Model (SM) and EinsteinGeneral Relativity (GR). GR is a classical theory that describes the gravitational force. The SM describes other three fundamental forces that are defined in a quantum version. There are models that seek to unify the two fundamental theories into a single one. Such a theory is expected to emerge at the Planck scale, ∼ 10 19 GeV, where some new physics may emerge. The new physics may involve different properties, such as the appearance of Lorentz violation effects [1,2]. Studies of Lorentz violation, both theoretical and experimental, are described by an effective field theory called the Standard Model Extension (SME) [3]. The SME includes the SM, GR and all possible operators that break the Lorentz symmetry. A complete description of GR in the framework of the SME has been considered [4][5][6]. In the gravitational sector of the SME [7,8] there are 19 coefficients for Lorentz violation in addition to an unobservable scalar parameter. A similarity between the gravitational sector and the electromagnetic sector of the SME, specifically CPT-even coefficients, has been developed [9]. This would suggest a close relationship between gravitational and CPT-even electromagnetic sectors.The search for analogies between electromagnetism and gravity, for Lorentz invariant theories, started with Faraday [10] and Maxwell [11] and has a long history [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. For a review of Gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM) follow references [21]. Experimental efforts to test GEM have been developed [22]. There are three different ways to construct GEM theory: (i) using the similarity between the linearized Einstein and Maxwell equations [21]; (ii) based on an approach using tidal tensors [23] and (iii) the decomposition of the Weyl tensor into gravitomagnetic (B ij = 1 2 ǫ ikl C kl 0j ) and gravitoelectric (E ij = −C 0i0j ) approach [24]. Here Weyl approach is considered. The Weyl tensor is connected with the curvature tensor and it is the trace-less part of the Riemann tensor. The analogy between electromagnetism and General Relativity is based on the correspondence C ασµν ↔ F ασ , where the Weyl tensor is the free gravitational field and F ασ is the electromagnetic tensor. The Weyl tensor gives contributions due to nonlocal sources. In the Weyl tensor approach, a Lagrangian formulation for GEM has been developed [25]. In this formalis...
