- Description
- In this talk I will show how a particular form of Lorentz violating quantum electrodynamics (QED) emerges as an effective low energy theory in Weyl semimetals. I will discuss how the ambiguities present in the former are absent in the condensed matter realization due to the existence of a full microscopic model from which this effective theory emerges. I will discuss then physically observable consequences such as birefringence that arise in this scenario.
