ABOUT THE EVENT /
Although local Lorentz invariance has been exquisitely tested in the matter sector of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, there is still a large room for violations of Lorentz symmetry in the gravitational sector. Actually, there are compelling theoretical reasons to consider such possibility at high energies, since Lorentz-violating operators can provide a UV completion of General Relativity in the form of a renormalizable theory of gravitation. This opens up a pandora box of new phenomenological features — black holes with universal horizons, gravitational wave signatures, new quantum gravitational phenomena, and new interactions with matter. However, even though the field has seen incredible advances in recent years, there are still many unanswered questions about the fate of Lorentz-violating gravity.
In this workshop, we bring together recognized world experts in modelling Lorentz-violating gravitational theories and their physical consequences, from quantum field theory results to observational predictions, and gravitational waves. Our goal is to allow for a transversal and multidisciplinary interaction among the different communities, enriching the discussion and putting forward new projects in Lorentz-violating gravity.
