As a consequence, the bumblebee field gets coupled to all the other matter fields present in the theory, potentially leading to nontrivial phenomenological effects. To explore this issue we compute the weak-field limit and study the resulting effective theory. In this scenario, we couple scalar and spinorial matter to the effective metric which, besides the zeroth-order Minkowskian contribution, also has the vector field contributions of the bumblebee, and show that it is renormalizable at one-loop level. From our analysis it also follows that the non-metricity of this theory is determined by the gradient of the bumblebee field, and that it can acquire a vacuum expectation value due to the contribution of the bumblebee field.", optnote="WOS:000792884500005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5229), last updated on Fri, 27 May 2022 06:56:04 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.physletb.2022.136932", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.06391", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2022.136932", language="English" }
