Abstract: (Brasilia U.)
Through the effective theory of aether compactfication, we study what are the implications
(effects) of compactification of the fifth dimension with the aether field being propagated
along this extra dimension. In this context, the changes that occurred in the dispersion
relations, propagator, and energy momentum tensor of the Standard Model fields are
analyzed. The focus of this thesis is to address the issue of radiative corrections for the
Kaluza-Klein (KK) masses in five-dimensional quantum electrodynamics supplemented by
terms due to the aether field that violate the Lorentz invariance. Specifically, corrections
for the KK photon masses of a fermionic one-loop are calculated. In general, the KK
masses receive radiative corrections due to the breaking of the five-dimensional Lorentz
invariance by compaction. As shown, the presence of the additional Lorentz violation
factor, aether as a background, leads to a nontrivial modification of these corrections.
This model may be of interest in addressing important phenomenological issues such as
the relation between radiative corrected KK mass splitting of a particular mode and
uncertainties in the measurements and/or possible spatial variation of the fine-structure
constant. For the recent data on the fine-structure constant, a KK mass splitting of
magnitude ∼ 0.01 MeV is found for the first excited Kaluza-Klein boson on the TeV scale.
On the other hand, the large KK modes limit displays a very interesting phenomenon,
showing the very special role of the aether in protecting the higher modes from the
quantum corrections.- Compactação éter
