Einstein-aether waves

Einstein-aether waves

Local Lorentz invariance violation can be realized by introducing extra tensor fields in the action that couple to matter. If the Lorentz violation is rotationally invariant in some frame, then it is characterized by an ``aether,'' i.e., a unit timelike vector field. General covariance requires that the aether field be …
