Constraining gravitational wave amplitude birefringence with GWTC-3
read the original abstract
The propagation of gravitational waves can reveal fundamental features of the structure of spacetime. For instance, differences in the propagation of gravitational-wave polarizations would be a smoking gun for parity violations in the gravitational sector, as expected from birefringent theories like Chern-Simons gravity. Here we look for evidence of amplitude birefringence in the third catalog of detections by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory and Virgo through the use of birefringent templates inspired by dynamical Chern-Simons gravity. From $71$ binary-black-hole signals, we obtain the most precise constraints on gravitational-wave amplitude birefringence yet, measuring a birefringent attenuation of $\kappa = -0.019^{+0.038}_{-0.029} \, \mathrm{Gpc}^{-1}$ at $100 \, \mathrm{Hz}$ with $90\%$ credibility, equivalent to a parity-violation energy scale of $M_{\rm PV} \gtrsim 6.8 \times 10^{-21}\, {\rm GeV}$.

Gravitational Wave Birefringence in generalized Palatini Chern Simons
Palatini f(R)+Chern–Simons gravity predicts amplitude and velocity birefringence in GW propagation, with the effect controlled by f_R and, under de-Sitter approximations, growing polynomially with redshift.

Parity-odd Four-Point Correlation Function from DESI Data Release 1 Luminous Red Galaxy Sample
The parity-odd four-point correlation function measured in DESI DR1 LRGs is consistent with zero after correcting for survey-induced covariance mismatches.

Gravitational Wave Birefringence from Fuzzy Dark Matter
Fuzzy dark matter induces frequency-dependent amplitude birefringence in gravitational waves with periodic time modulation set by the scalar mass, but no velocity birefringence.

Constraining Lorentz and parity violations in gravity with multiband gravitational wave observations
Future multiband GW networks could tighten Lorentz- and parity-violation energy-scale bounds by up to several orders of magnitude, with massive binaries best for low-frequency and loud binaries for high-frequency effects.
