Effective field theories describing gravity coupled to matter are investigated, allowing for operators of arbitrary mass dimension. Terms violating local Lorentz and diffeomorphism invariance while preserving internal gauge symmetries are included. The theoretical framework for violations of local Lorentz and diffeomorphism invariance and associated conceptual issues are discussed, including transformations in curved and approximately flat spacetimes, the treatment of various types of backgrounds, the implications of symmetry breaking, and the no-go constraints for explicit violation in Riemann geometry. Techniques are presented for the construction of effective operators, and the possible terms in the gravity, gauge, fermion, and scalar sectors are classified and enumerated. Explicit expressions are obtained for terms containing operators of mass dimension six or less in the effective action for General Relativity coupled to the Standard Model of particle physics. Special cases considered include Einstein-Maxwell effective field theories and the limit with only scalar coupling constants.

Gravitational-wave generation in the presence of Lorentz invariance violation
Gravitational waves in a class of Lorentz-violating gravity theories would have amplitude components that do not decay with distance, strongly constraining those theories.

Lorentz violating quadratic gravity
Bumblebee–quadratic gravity needs new Lorentz-violating counterterms at one loop, but the displayed computation has a gauge-parameter inconsistency and the classical Schwarzschild/de Sitter solutions are the robust part.

Vacuum Cherenkov radiation for nonminimal dimension-5 Lorentz violation
Isotropic dimension-5 Lorentz violation in fermions is constrained to below 1e-18 GeV^-1 (proton, m-type) and 3e-28 GeV^-1 (proton, a-type) by the absence of vacuum Cherenkov radiation in cosmic rays.

Signals of nonrenormalizable Lorentz and CPT violation at the LHC
New LHC-derived bounds and projected sensitivities are obtained for dimension-five Lorentz- and CPT-violating quark operators through Z-boson exchange in Drell-Yan production.

Perturbative black-hole and horizon solutions in gravity with explicit spacetime-symmetry breaking
New perturbative black hole solutions in an explicit spacetime-symmetry-breaking gravity EFT, with derived observables including three-horizon metrics when two coefficients are active.

New constraints on modified gravity with dimension-six operators from gravitational waves
A dimension-six Lorentz-violating gravity operator is linearized to obtain gravitational-wave dispersion relations, and time-of-flight data from GW170817 and GW150914 bound the coefficients to 10^-5 to 10^-4 m^2 (nonb...

Nonrelativistic effective potential of the bumblebee model
The leading-order nonrelativistic potential in the bumblebee model is a Coulomb potential with charge rescaled by (1 - (mβξ/2)^2), producing a hydrogen level shift of order m^3β^2ξ^2.
