The CPT-even abelian gauge sector of the Standard Model Extension is represented by the Maxwell term supplemented by KF )µνρσ FµνFρσ, where the Lorentz-violating background tensor, (KF )µνρσ, possesses the symmetries of the Riemann tensorand a double null trace. In the present work, it is examined the planar version of this theory, obtained by means of a dimensional reduction procedure to (1 + 2) dimensions. The resulting planar electrodynamics is composed of a gauge sector containing six Lorentz-violating coe¢ cients, a scalar …eld endowed with a noncanonical kinetic term, and a coupling term that links the scalar and gauge sectors. The parity of the components of the Lorentz violating tensors is analyzed, following the de…nition of the parity operator in (1 +2) dimensions. The equations of motion of the theory are also found, where the electromagnetic …eld appears coupled to scalar …eld. This coupling however appears only as a second order e¤ect on the violation coe¢ cients and thus it is neglected. The energy-momentum tensor of the theory is calculated, revealing contributions of scalar, gauge and coupling sectors. From this tensor it is found a positive energy density de…ned for small violation parameters. The wave equations for the …elds E and B and the potential A0 and A are written and solved in the steady state by the method of Green. It is observed that the Lorentz-violating parameters do not alter the asymptotic behavior of the …elds but induce an angular dependence not observed in the Maxwell planar theory. It is also observed that electrical charges generate static magnetic …eld, as well as stationary currents generate electric …eld, a property already present in the original theory in (1 +3) dimensions. The dispersion relation also is determined, revealing that the six parameters related to the pure electromagnetic sector do not yield birefringence at …rst order. In this model, the birefringence may appear only as a second order efect associated with the coupling tensor linking the gauge and scalar sectors.
