Cosmological implications of Bumblebee vector models
read the original abstract
The Bumblebee Model of spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking is explored in a cosmological context, considering a single non-zero time component for the vector field. The relevant dynamic equations for the evolution of the Universe are derived and its properties and physical significance studied. We conclude that a late-time de Sitter expansion of the Universe can be replicated, and attempt to constrain the parameter of the potential driving the spontaneous symmetry breaking.

Complex bumblebee model
A complex bumblebee model is formulated with gauge and longitudinal couplings; one-loop RG functions are derived and the leading-log effective potential indicates possible dynamical Lorentz violation.

Dynamic Aspects of Bumblebee Gravity: Post-Newtonian Approach
Bumblebee gravity is self-consistent in PPN up to 1.5PN order only for λ = −ξ/2, producing non-zero α1, α2, a logarithmic U_B potential, and a pulsar-timing bound |ℓ| ≲ 1.6×10^{-9}.

Cosmological implications of Bumblebee theory on an FLRW background
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.
