Quantum corrections to Lorentz- and CPT-violating QED in flat spacetime produce unusual radiative corrections, which can be finite but of undetermined magnitude. The corresponding radiative corrections in a gravitational theory are even…
The electrodynamics with a Chern-Simons term $p_{\mu}A_{\nu}\widetilde{F}^{\mu\nu}$ violates Lorentz and $CPT$ symmetries with a non-vanishing $p_{\mu}$. For a fixed vector $p_{\mu}$, in this paper we point out that the energy-momentum…

Recent work by Chae et al. (2026) reported a gravitational anomaly in 36 wide-binary pairs, finding a gravity boost factor of $\gamma \equiv G_{\rm eff}/G_{\rm N} \approx 1.60_{-0.14}^{+0.17}$ at low accelerations, consistent with…
The holographic duality can be extended to include quantum theories with broken coordinate invariance leading to the appearance of the gravitational anomalies. On the gravity side one adds the gravitational Chern-Simons term to the bulk…
We investigate black holes and gravitational perturbations when both the scalar Gauss-Bonnet and dynamical Chern-Simons gravity sectors coexist in addition to the Einstein-Hilbert term, and both sectors are coupled to a single canonically…
Dynamical Chern-Simons (dCS) gravity is a promising extension of general relativity (GR), arising naturally from the low-energy limit of some string motivated theories. Even though dCS possesses an additional scalar degree of freedom,…

The axion-gravity Chern-Simons coupling is well motivated but is relatively weakly constrained, partly due to difficult measurements of gravity. We study the sensitivity of LIGO measurements of chirping gravitational waves (GWs) on such…
