Abstract

A method is presented for deriving the nonrelativistic quantum Hamiltonian of a free massive fermion from the relativistic Lagrangian of the Lorentz-violating standard-model extension. It permits the extraction of terms at arbitrary order in a Foldy–Wouthuysen expansion in inverse powers of the mass. The quantum particle Hamiltonian is obtained and its nonrelativistic limit is given explicitly to third order.
