It has long been known that photons and gravitons may appear as vector and tensor Goldstone modes caused \ by spontaneous Lorentz invariance violation (SLIV). Usually this approach is considered for photons and gravitons separately. We…
Searches for Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) in the neutrino sector have traditionally focused on non-standard neutrino oscillations induced by LIV in vacuum. In this work, however, we study anisotropic LIV in matter. First, we review…
We consider a class of models with infinite extra dimension, where bulk space does not possess SO(1,3) invariance, but Lorentz invariance emerges as an approximate symmetry of the low-energy effective theory. In these models, the maximum…
We consider warped compactifications that solve the 10 dimensional supergravity equations of motion at a point, stabilize the position of a D3-brane world, and admit a warp factor that violates Lorentz invariance along the brane. This gives…
Experimental limits on the violation of four-dimensional Lorentz invariance imply that noncommutativity among ordinary spacetime dimensions must be small. Noncommutativity among extra, compactified spatial dimensions, however, is far less…
In the context of Horava gravity, the most promising known scenarios to recover Lorentz invariance at low energy are the possibilities that (1) the renormalization group flow of the system leads to emergent infrared Lorentz invariance, and…
Momentum dependence of quantum corrections with higher-dimensional Lorentz violation is examined in electrodynamics on orbifolds. It is shown that effects of the Lorentz violation are not decoupled at high energy scales. Despite the loss of…
We show that coupling the Standard Model to a Lorentz symmetry violating sector may co-exist with viable phenomenology, provided that the interaction between the two is mediated by higher-dimensional operators. In particular, if the new…

Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) is a proposed phenomenon where Lorentz symmetry is violated at high energies, potentially affecting particle dynamics and interactions. We use numerical simulations with the CRPropa framework to…
We consider here the possibility of quantum gravity induced violation of Lorentz symmetry (LV). Even if suppressed by the inverse Planck mass such LV can be tested by current experiments and astrophysical observations. We review the…
We deform gravity with higher curvature terms in four dimensions and argue that the non-relativistic limit is of the same form as the non-relativistic limit of the theories with large extra dimensions. Therefore the experiments that perform…
We consider QED in a constant axial vector background (\AE ther). Further Lorentz invariance violations (LIV) might occur owing to radiative corrections. The phenomenology of this model is studied, clarifying issues related to the various…
Observable effects for the Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) at a low energy scale can also be investigated in double beta decay (DBD). For example, by comparing the theoretical predictions with a precise analysis of the summed energy…
In models of modified gravity, extra degrees of freedom usually appear. They must be removed from the spectrum because they may indicate the presence of instabilities and because otherwise the model might not agree with observation. In the…
The spontaneous breakdown of 4-dimensional Lorentz invariance in the framework of QED with the nonlinear vector potential constraint A_{\mu}^{2}=M^{2}(where M is a proposed scale of the Lorentz violation) is shown to manifest itself only as…
The first higher derivative term of the photon sector of Lorentz-violating QED, with operator of mass dimension $d=5$, is radiatively induced from the fermion sector, in which contains a derivative term with the dimensionless coefficient…
The notion of Lorentz violation in four dimensions is extended to a 5-dimensional brane-world scenario by utilizing a dynamical vector field assumed to point in the bulk direction, with Lorentz invariance holding on the brane. The…
