Abstract
In the present work, we study different aspects of Lorentz and CPT symmetry violation in extended massless QED. By following the observation that the -dimensional Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory can be originated from the -dimensional Chern-Simons-like action, we also focus on the fermion sector to relate the dimensional extended massless QED to -dimensional massive QED. We take advantage of this to state that the Chern-Simons-like action in extended massless QED can be induced with its coefficient being well defined and finite just as its counterpart. We make use of three different regularization schemes by inducting the Chern-Simons-like term in dimensions to support the conjecture.
