Lorentz Violation and Gravity

Research output: Thesis › Doctoral Thesis

Abstract

 This work explores the theoretical and experimental aspects of Lorentz violation in
 gravity. A set of modified Einstein field equations is derived from the general Lorentzviolating
 Standard-Model Extension (SME). Some general theoretical implications of
 these results are discussed. The experimental consequences for weak-field gravitating
 systems are explored in the Earth-laboratory setting, the solar system, and beyond.
