Cosmological constraints on Lorentz violating dark energy

Julien Lesgourgues, Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Benjamin Audren

The role of Lorentz invariance as a fundamental symmetry of nature has been lately reconsidered in different approaches to quantum gravity. It is thus natural to study whether other puzzles of physics may be solved within these proposals. This may be the c ...

Constraints on violation of Lorentz invariance from atmospheric showers initiated by multi-TeV photons

Sergey Sibiryakov

Parameterizing hypothetical violation of Lorentz invariance at high energies using the framework of effective quantum field theory, we discuss its effect on the formation of atmospheric showers by very-high-energy gamma rays. In the scenario where Lorentz ...

Comment on "Strong coupling in extended Horava-Lifshitz gravity" [Phys. Lett. B 685 (2010) 197]

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

We show that, contrary to the claim made in arXiv:0911.1299, the extended Horava gravity model proposed in arXiv:0909.3525 does not suffer from a strong coupling problem. By studying the observational constraints on the model we determine the bounds on the ...

Consistent Extension of Horava Gravity

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

We propose a natural extension of Horava's model for quantum gravity, which is free from the notorious pathologies of the original proposal. The new model endows the scalar graviton mode with a regular quadratic action and remains power-counting renormaliz ...

On constraining the speed of gravitational waves following GW150914

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Mikhail Ivanov

We point out that the observed time delay between the detection of the signal at the Hanford and Livingston LIGO sites from the gravitational wave event GW150914 places an upper bound on the speed of propagation of gravitational waves, c (gw) ae(2) 1.7 in ...

Completing Lorentz violating massive gravity at high energies

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Theories with massive gravitons are interesting for a variety of physical applications, ranging from cosmological phenomena to holographic modeling of condensed matter systems. To date, they have been formulated as effective field theories with a cutoff pr ...

From Scale Invariance to Lorentz Symmetry

Sergey Sibiryakov

It is shown that a unitary translationally invariant field theory in 1 + 1 dimensions, satisfying isotropic scale invariance, standard assumptions about the spectrum of states and operators, and the requirement that signals propagate with finite velocity, ...

Horava Gravity is Asymptotically Free in 2+1 Dimensions

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Mario Herrero Valea

We compute the beta functions of marginal couplings in projectable Horava gravity in 2 + 1 spacetime dimensions. We show that the renormalization group flow has an asymptotically free fixed point in the ultraviolet (UV), establishing the theory as a UV-com ...

Horava gravity versus thermodynamics: The black hole case

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Under broad assumptions, breaking of Lorentz invariance in gravitational theories leads to tension with unitarity because it allows for processes that apparently violate the second law of thermodynamics. The crucial ingredient of this argument is the exist ...

Time-sliced perturbation theory II: baryon acoustic oscillations and infrared resummation

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Mikhail Ivanov

We use time-sliced perturbation theory (TSPT) to give an accurate description of the infrared non-linear effects affecting the baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) present in the distribution of matter at very large scales. In TSPT this can be done via a s ...

Supergravity with broken Lorentz invariance

Sergey Sibiryakov

The supersymmetric extension of the Lorentz violating Einstein-aether theory of gravity is considered. The most general Lagrangian of the linearized Einstein-aether supergravity is constructed using the superfield formalism. The constraints imposed by supe ...

Time-sliced perturbation theory for large scale structure I: general formalism

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Mikhail Ivanov

We present a new analytic approach to describe large scale structure formation in the mildly non-linear regime. The central object of the method is the time-dependent probability distribution function generating correlators of the cosmological observables ...

On stability of electroweak vacuum during inflation

Sergey Sibiryakov, Andrey Shkerin

We study Coleman-De Luccia tunneling of the Standard Model Higgs field during inflation in the case when the electroweak vacuum is metastable. We verify that the tunneling rate is exponentially suppressed. The main contribution to the suppression is the sa ...

Supergravity with broken Lorentz invariance: theory and phenomenological consequences

Sergey Sibiryakov

We construct and study supersymmetric extension of the Einstein-aether gravitational theory. Using superfield formalism we carry out unique linearized Lorentz violating supergravity action invariant under super-gauge transformations and obtain its bosonic ...

Experimental assessment of the speed of light perturbation in free-fall absolute gravimeters

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Precision absolute gravity measurements are growing in importance, especially in the context of the new definition of the kilogram. For the case of free fall absolute gravimeters with a Michelson-type interferometer tracking the position of a free falling ...

Femtolensing by dark matter revisited

Sergey Sibiryakov

Femtolensing of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) has been put forward as an exciting possibility to probe exotic astrophysical objects with masses below 10(-13) solar masses such as small primordial black holes or ultra-compact dark matter minihalos, made up for in ...

On holography for (pseudo-)conformal cosmology

Sergey Sibiryakov

We propose a holographic dual for (pseudo-)conformal cosmological scenario, with a scalar field that forms a moving domain wall in adS(5). The domain wall separates two vacua with unequal energy densities. Unlike in the existing construction, the 5d soluti ...

Prospective constraints on Lorentz violation from ultrahigh-energy photon detection

Sergey Sibiryakov

We point out that violation of Lorentz invariance affects the interaction of high-energy photons with the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field. In a certain parameter region this interaction becomes suppressed and the photons escape observation, passing t ...
