dc.descriptionThe spontaneous breakdown of 4-dimensional Lorentz invariance in the framework of QED with the nonlinear vector potential constraint A_μ^{2}=M^{2}(where M is a proposed scale of the Lorentz violation) is shown to manifest itself only as some noncovariant gauge choice in the otherwise gauge invariant (and Lorentz invariant) electromagnetic theory. All the contributions to the photon-photon, photon-fermion and fermion-fermion interactions violating the physical Lorentz invariance happen to be exactly cancelled with each other in the manner observed by Nambu a long ago for the simplest tree-order diagrams - the fact which we extend now to the one-loop approximation and for both the time-like (M^{2}>0) and space-like (M^{2}<0) Lorentz violation. The way how to reach the physical breaking of the Lorentz invariance in the pure QED case taken in the flat Minkowskian space-time is also discussed in some detail.
