It is standard practice to study the lensing of gravitational waves (GW) using the geometric optics regime. However, in many astrophysical configurations this regime breaks down as the wavelength becomes comparable to the Schwarzschild…

Gravitational wave observations have been used to test Lorentz symmetry by looking for dispersive effects that are caused by higher order corrections to the dispersion relation. In this Letter I argue on general grounds that, when such…

Gravitational parity violation arises in a variety of theories beyond general relativity. Gravitational waves in such theories have their propagation altered, leading to birefringence effects in both the amplitude and speed of the wave. In…
