abstract
We present an updated review of Lorentz invariance tests in Effective field theories (EFT) in the matter as well as in the gravity sector. After a general discussion of the role of Lorentz invariance and a derivation of its transformations along the so called von Ignatovski theorem, we present the dynamical frameworks developed within local EFT and the available constraints on the parameters governing the Lorentz breaking effects. In the end, we discuss two specific examples, the OPERA "affaire" and the case of Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity. The first case will serve as an example, and a caveat, of the practical application of the general techniques developed for constraining Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) to a direct observation potentially showing these effects. The second case will show how the application of the same techniques to a specific quantum gravity scenario has far fetching implications not foreseeable in a purely phenomenological EFT approach.

Derives shadow width, redshift asymmetry, and flux observables for the Lorentz-violating draining-bathtub acoustic black hole, showing how each observable isolates different combinations of the rotation and violation parameters.
Exact black hole solutions with topological horizons are found in EKR gravity and their thermodynamics are analyzed using the Wald formalism for mass and entropy.
LISA can constrain the Lorentz symmetry breaking parameter ell in bumblebee gravity to O(10^{-4}) uncertainty via EMRI waveform analysis in the AAK framework.
Bumblebee theory on an FLRW background yields a cosmological model whose single free parameter is fitted to supernovae observations, producing deceleration and dark energy behaviors that are compared to Lambda-CDM.
A review summarizing modified theories of gravity, their effects on compact objects, existing bounds from astrophysical observations, and the promise of future gravitational wave tests for strong-field gravity.
Experiments confirm general relativity to high precision in weak-field and strong-field regimes, with gravitational wave damping matching predictions to better than 0.5 percent.
