Chern-Simons (CS) $\theta$-systems are described by a $\theta \int F\wedge F$ term in the action ($\theta$ is an adimensional parameter), which does not change field equations in the bulk, but affects the system behaviour when it is…

Modified gravity theories generically predict a violation of Lorentz invariance, which may lead to a modified dispersion relation for propagating modes of gravitational waves. We construct a parametrized dispersion relation that can…
The nature of gravity can be tested by how gravitational waves (GWs) are emitted, detected, and propagate through the universe. Propagation tests are powerful, as small deviations compound over cosmological distances. However, GW…
