contents This article aims to study the Lorentz/U(1) gauge symmetry-breaking electrodynamics in the framework of the Standard-Model Extension and analyze the Hamiltonian structure for the theory with a specific dimension $d\leq 4$ of Lorentz breaking operators. For this purpose, we consider a general quadratic action of the modified electrodynamics with Lorentz/gauge-breaking operators and calculate the number of independent components of the operators at different dimensions in gauge invariance and breaking. With this general action, we then analyze how the Lorentz/gauge symmetry-breaking can change the Hamiltonian structure of the theories by considering Lorentz/gauge-breaking operators with dimension $d\leq 4$ as examples. We show that the Lorentz-breaking operators with gauge invariance do not change the classes of the constraints of the theory and the number of the physical degrees of freedom of the standard Maxwell's electrodynamics. When the U(1) gauge symmetry-breaking operators are present, the theories in general lack first-class constraint and have one additional physical degree of freedom, compared to the standard Maxwell's electrodynamics.
