چکیده

We present an extension of the Randall–Sundrum model in which, due to spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking, graviton mixes with bulk vector fields and becomes quasilocalized. The masses of KK modes comprising the four-dimensional graviton are naturally exponentially small. This allows to push the Lorentz breaking scale to as high as a few tenth of the Planck mass. The model does not contain ghosts or tachyons and does not exhibit the van Dam–Veltman–Zakharov discontinuity. The gravitational attraction between static point masses becomes gradually weaker with increasing of separation and gets replaced by repulsion (antigravity) at exponentially large distances.

Lorentz Violation of Quantum Gravity

A quantum gravity theory which becomes renormalizable at short distances due to a spontaneous symmetry breaking of Lorentz invariance and diffeomorphism invariance is studied. A breaking of Lorentz invariance with the breaking patterns SO(3, 1) → O(3) and SO(3, 1) → O(2), describing 3 + 1 and 2 + 1 quantum gravity, respectively, is proposed. A complex time dependent Schrödinger equation (genera...

Lorentz Violation and Gravity

Lorentz symmetry lies at the heart of relativity and is a feature of low-energy descriptions of nature. Minuscule Lorentz-violating effects arising in theories of quantum gravity offer a promising candidate signal for new physics at the Planck scale. A framework is presented for incorporating Lorentz violation into general relativity and other theories of gravity. Applying this framework yields...

Nambu-goldstone Modes in Gravitational Theories with Spontaneous Lorentz Breaking

Spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry has been suggested as a possible mechanism that might occur in the context of a fundamental Planck-scale theory, such as string theory or a quantum theory of gravity. However, if Lorentz symmetry is spontaneously broken, two sets of questions immediately arise: what is the fate of the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) modes, and can a Higgs mechanism occur? A brief s...

CPT and QM tests using kaon interferometry

The neutral kaon system offers a unique possibility to perform fundamental tests of CPT invariance, as well as of the basic principles of quantum mechanics. The most recent and significant limits on CPT violation are reviewed, including the ones related to possible decoherence mechanisms or Lorentz symmetry breaking, which might be induced by quantum gravity. The experimental results show no de...
