Abstract
The general formalism for polarization
observables in elastic electron deuteron scattering is extended to
incorporate parity- and time-reversal-violating contributions.
Parity-violating effects arise from the interference of 
and Z
exchange as well as from the hadronic sector via a small
parity-violating component in the deuteron. In addition we have allowed for
time-reversal-invariance-violating contributions in the hadronic sector.
Formal expressions for the additional structure functions are derived, and
their decomposition into the various multipole contributions are given
explicitly.
