The Einstein-Aether theory provides a simple, dynamical mechanism for breaking Lorentz invariance. It does so within a generally covariant context and may emerge from quantum effects in more fundamental theories. The theory leads to a…

The Unruh effect predicts that an accelerated observer perceives the Minkowski vacuum as a thermal bath, but its direct observation requires extreme accelerations beyond current experimental reach. Foundational theory [Olson & Ralph, Phys.…
Black hole thermodynamics in Lorentz-violating gravity is subtle because different excitations propagate at different speeds and hence identify different causal horizons. We revisit Einstein--AEther gravity using the covariant phase space…
The class of covariant gravity theories which have nice ultraviolet behavior and seem to be (super)-renormalizable is proposed. The apparent breaking of Lorentz invariance occurs due to the coupling with the effective fluid which is induced…

It was recently advanced the argument that Unruh effect emerges from the study of quantum field theory in quantum space-time. Quantum space-time is identified with the Hilbert space of a new kind of quantum fields, the accelerated fields,…
Lorentz symmetry is a fundamental property of Einstein's theory of general relativity that one may wish to test with gravitational wave observations. Einstein-aether theory is a model that introduces Lorentz-symmetry breaking in the…
A uniformly accelerated atom in an inertial vacuum generally thermalizes and reaches a Gibbs state. This phenomenon is commonly known as the Unruh effect. Here, we show that the situation is entirely different for the many-atoms problem. In…
High-intensity laser fields acting on free electrons were proposed to create sufficiently large accelerations to enable detection of Unruh radiation. However, the currently achievable electron accelerations are not large enough. Here we…
