New Directions in Gravity Searches for Spacetime-Symmetry breaking

Abstract

In this talk, we review recent results in testing spacetime symmetries in gravitational physics. Topics discussed include new signals for hypothetical Lorentz and diffeomorphism symmetry violations in short-range gravity tests. We review results for multipole expansions that predict extra polarizations for gravitational waves. Both explicit and spontaneous spacetime-symmetry breaking origins are considered. We also discuss recent numerical results for black hole solutions in a vector field model of spontaneous symmetry breaking.
