Abstract:One can show that for CPT theorem to hold, Lorentz invariance is not always needed. Also one can have CPT violation, while there is Lorentz invariance. Field theoretical examples for both cases are given and as well mass differences between particle-antiparticle are discussed. Unambiguous tests of CPT violation, unrelated to the breaking of Lorentz invariance, are presented.
