Strong binary pulsar constraints on Lorentz violation in gravity.
Binary pulsars are excellent laboratories to test the building blocks of Einstein's theory of general relativity. One of these is Lorentz symmetry, which states that physical phenomena appear the same for all inertially moving observers. We study the effect of violations of Lorentz symmetry in the orbital evolution of binary pulsars and find that it induces a much more rapid decay of the binary...
متن کاملLorentz Violation and Gravity
Lorentz symmetry lies at the heart of relativity and is a feature of low-energy descriptions of nature. Minuscule Lorentz-violating effects arising in theories of quantum gravity offer a promising candidate signal for new physics at the Planck scale. A framework is presented for incorporating Lorentz violation into general relativity and other theories of gravity. Applying this framework yields...
متن کاملLorentz violation in Goldstone gravity
We consider a theory of gravity in which a symmetric two-index tensor in Minkowski spacetime acquires a vacuum expectation value (vev) via a potential, thereby breaking Lorentz invariance spontaneously. When the vev breaks all the generators of the Lorentz group, six Goldstone modes emerge, two linear combinations of which have properties that are identical to those of the graviton in general r...
متن کاملCosmological constraints on Lorentz violation in electrodynamics.
Infrared, optical, and ultraviolet spectropolarimetry of cosmological sources is used to constrain the pure electromagnetic sector of a general Lorentz-violating standard-model extension. The coefficients for Lorentz violation are bounded to less than 3 x 10(-32).
متن کاملLorentz Violation of Quantum Gravity
A quantum gravity theory which becomes renormalizable at short distances due to a spontaneous symmetry breaking of Lorentz invariance and diffeomorphism invariance is studied. A breaking of Lorentz invariance with the breaking patterns SO(3, 1) → O(3) and SO(3, 1) → O(2), describing 3 + 1 and 2 + 1 quantum gravity, respectively, is proposed. A complex time dependent Schrödinger equation (genera...
