Gamma ray bursts are excellent candidates to constrain physical models which break Lorentz symmetry. We consider deformed dispersion relations which break the boost invariance and lead to an energy-dependent speed of light. In these models, simultaneously emitted photons from cosmological sources reach Earth with a spectral time delay that depends on the symmetry breaking scale. We estimate the possible bounds which can be obtained by comparing the spectral time delays with the time resolution of available telescopes. We discuss the best strategy to reach the strongest bounds. We compute the probability of detecting bursts that improve the current bounds. The results are encouraging. Depending on the model, it is possible to build a detector that within several years will improve the present limits of 0.015 m_pl.

Discriminating between different modified dispersion relations from gamma-ray observations
A general parameterization of modified photon dispersion relations is introduced, and simulations show that the assumed lag-redshift model changes both the inferred quantum gravity scale and the ability to discriminat...

Below the Schwinger critical magnetic field value, quantum vacuum and gamma-ray bursts delay
The authors claim a 2.4-hour GRB delay from a 10^6 Tesla intergalactic magnetic field, but the computation actually yields about 100 days, and the assumed field is many orders of magnitude stronger than observed.
