On the assertion that PCT violation implies Lorentz non-invariance

Abstract: Out of conviction or expediency, some current research programs [1-4] take for granted that "PCT violation implies violation of Lorentz invariance". We point out that this claim [5] is still on somewhat shaky ground. In fact, for many years there has been no strengthening of the evidence in this direction. However, using causal perturbation theory, we prove here that when starting with a local PCT-invariant interaction, PCT symmetry can be maintained in the process of renormalization.

“…This paper is based on different sets of assumptions (see [6] for a detailed discussion of those assumptions). To be more specific, Greenberg assumes a consistent axiomatic (Wightman) formulation of realistic particle theory, although to our knowledge nobody has given a convincing axiomatic formulation of the Standard Model, for example.…”

“…This model is based on a Lorentz invariant CPT violation mechanism which also breaks C and CP but preserves T [7]. The basic ingredient to evade the CPT theorem [8] in this scheme is that the theory is assumed to be non-local [9,10], although the original scheme of CPT violation with T violation but preserving C and CP does not generate particle-antiparticle mass splitting [9]. It was emphasized in [10] that the Lorentz invariant CPT breaking scheme, which we adopt in the present study, is a very natural logical possibility.…”
