Modern tests of Lorentz invariance
read the original abstract
Motivated by ideas about quantum gravity, a tremendous amount of effort over the past decade has gone into testing Lorentz invariance in various regimes. This review summarizes both the theoretical frameworks for tests of Lorentz invariance and experimental advances that have made new high precision tests possible. The current constraints on Lorentz violating effects from both terrestrial experiments and astrophysical observations are presented.

Hamiltonian Constraints on Spontaneous Lorentz Symmetry Breaking in the Bumblebee Model
Spontaneous Lorentz violation requires determining the vacuum from the Hamiltonian density rather than the Lagrangian potential minimum, ruling out quadratic potentials and allowing only stable timelike or lightlike V...

On the Consistency of Covariant Light-Speed Variation in Doubly Special Relativity
In the DSR1 model with subluminal light-speed variation, a boosted box can overtake its own emitted photon above a critical rapidity, leading to tensions in particle counting and motion not resolved by relative locality.
