Lorentz symmetry is a fundamental space-time symmetry underlying the Standard Model of particle physics and gravity. However, unified theories, such as string theory, allow for violation of this symmetry. Thus, the discovery of Lorentz…

The dipole anomaly in the power spectrum of CMB may indicate that the Lorentz boost invarianc is violated at cosmic scale. We assume that the Lorentz symmetry is violated partly from the scale of galaxy. We employ the symmetry of very…
We introduce an improved model that links the frequency shift of the $^{133}\text{Cs}$ hyperfine Zeeman transitions $\vert F = 3, m_F> \longleftrightarrow \vert F = 4, m_F >$ to the Lorentz-violating Standard-Model Extension (SME)…

It is known that local, Lorentz invariant, unitary theories involving particles with spin 1 demand that the matter sector they couple to are organized by internal physical symmetries and the associated charge conservation, while spin 3/2…
While general relativity possesses local Lorentz invariance, both canonical quantum gravity and string theory suggest that Lorentz invariance may be broken at high energies. Broken Lorentz invariance has also been postulated as an…
We develop a perturbative framework with which to discuss departures from exact Lorentz invariance and explore their potentially observable ramifications. Tiny non-invariant terms introduced into the standard model Lagrangian are assumed to…
Extremely high-energy(EHE) cosmic rays might provide a chance to check a violation of the Lorentz symmetry of spacetime. Some theoretical consideration is described about why the Lorentz symmetry might break-down in EHE phenomena in this…
