Gravity, Lorentz violation, and the standard model

VA Kostelecký - Physical Review D, 2004 - APS
The role of the gravitational sector in the Lorentz-and CPT-violating standard-model
extension (SME) is studied. A framework is developed for addressing this topic in the context …

Electrodynamics with Lorentz-violating operators of arbitrary dimension

VA Kostelecký, M Mewes - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2009 - APS
The behavior of photons in the presence of Lorentz and CPT violation is studied. Allowing
for operators of arbitrary mass dimension, we classify all gauge-invariant Lorentz-and CPT …

Spontaneous Lorentz violation, Nambu-Goldstone modes, and gravity

R Bluhm, VA Kostelecký - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2005 - APS
The fate of the Nambu-Goldstone modes arising from spontaneous Lorentz violation is
investigated. Using the vierbein formalism, it is shown that up to 10 Lorentz and …

The mass of the photon

LC Tu, J Luo, GT Gillies - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
Because classical Maxwellian electromagnetism has been one of the cornerstones of
physics during the past century, experimental tests of its foundations are always of …

Lorentz and CPT violation in neutrinos

VA Kostelecký, M Mewes - Physical Review D, 2004 - APS
A general formalism is presented for violations of Lorentz and CPT symmetry in the neutrino
sector. The effective Hamiltonian for neutrino propagation in the presence of Lorentz and …

Modern Michelson-Morley experiment using cryogenic optical resonators

H Müller, S Herrmann, C Braxmaier, S Schiller… - Physical review …, 2003 - APS
We report on a new test of Lorentz invariance performed by comparing the resonance
frequencies of two orthogonal cryogenic optical resonators subject to Earth's rotation over∼ …

Probing Lorentz and violation with space-based experiments

R Bluhm, VA Kostelecký, CD Lane, N Russell - Physical Review D, 2003 - APS
Abstract Space-based experiments offer sensitivity to numerous unmeasured effects
involving Lorentz and CPT violation. We provide a classification of clock sensitivities and …

Lorentz-violating electrostatics and magnetostatics

QG Bailey, VA Kostelecký - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2004 - APS
The static limit of Lorentz-violating electrodynamics in vacuum and in media is investigated.
Features of the general solutions include the need for unconventional boundary conditions …

Direct terrestrial test of Lorentz symmetry in electrodynamics to 10−18

M Nagel, SR Parker, EV Kovalchuk, PL Stanwix… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Lorentz symmetry is a foundational property of modern physics, underlying the standard
model of particles and general relativity. It is anticipated that these two theories are low …

New limit on signals of Lorentz violation in electrodynamics

JA Lipa, JA Nissen, S Wang, DA Stricker, D Avaloff - Physical review letters, 2003 - APS
We describe the results of an experiment to test for spacetime anisotropy terms that might
exist from Lorentz violations. The apparatus consists of a pair of cylindrical superconducting …
