We review the status of "Einstein-Aether theory", a generally covariant theory of gravity coupled to a dynamical, unit timelike vector field that breaks local Lorentz symmetry. Aspects of waves, stars, black holes, and cosmology are discussed, together with theoretical and observational constraints. Open questions are stressed.

  1. Metric affine gravity with dynamical chronology protection

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A new metric-affine gravity toy model dynamically generates a global time function via projective invariance breaking to enforce stable causality, recovering mimetic gravity and yielding a broader dark sector.

  2. Perturbation Dynamics and Structure Formation in Extended Proca-Nuevo Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Extended Proca-Nuevo gravity modifies the background expansion via a vector field algebraic constraint but leaves the matter growth equation identical to general relativity.

  3. Tests of scalar polarizations with multi-messenger events

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Bayesian analysis of GW170817 with PPE framework and EM polarization constraints shows mild preference for scalar mode in quadrupole harmonics and improves bounds on non-GR parameters by up to 60%.

  4. Testing General Relativity with Present and Future Astrophysical Observations

    gr-qc 2015-01 accept novelty 2.0

    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.
