We employ techniques from quantum estimation theory (QET) to estimate the Lorentz violation parameters in the (1+3)-dimensional flat spacetime. We obtain and discuss the expression of the quantum Fisher information (QFI) in terms of the Lorentz violation parameter [Formula: see text] and the momentum [Formula: see text] of the created particles. We show that the maximum QFI is achieved for a specific momentum [Formula: see text]. We also find that the optimal precision of estimation of the Lorentz violation parameter is obtained near the Planck scale.

The observation of cosmic neutrinos up to 2 PeV is used to put bounds on the energy scale of Lorentz invariance violation through the loss of energy due to the production of e + e - pairs in the propagation of superluminal neutrinos. A model to study this effect, which allows us to understand qualitatively the results of numerical simulations, is presented.

Due to quantum gravity fluctuations at the Planck scale, the space–time manifold is no longer continuous, but discretized. As a result the Lorentz symmetry is broken at very high energies. In this paper, we study the neutrino oscillation pattern due to the Lorentz invariance violation (LIV), and compare it with the normal neutrino oscillation pattern due to neutrino masses. We find that at very high energies, neutrino oscillation pattern is very different from the normal one. This could provide an possibility to study the Lorentz invariance violation by measuring the oscillation pattern of very high energy neutrinos from a cosmological distance.

We consider the neutrino fluxes and photon lensing from Gamma Ray Bursts and galaxy shocks, in order to predict measurable quantum corrections at late times. In particular, changes of the Einstein shell condition are expected to modify the time delay of neutrinos and photons at the Planck scale. Hence, we study the consequences of the Lorentz invariance violation through the use of such photons and neutrinos. The Lorentz invariance violation is expected to depend on the cosmological model, considered a priori in the Einstein equations; therefore, we focus on the so-called Hořava model which has recently attracted great interest. In addition, we compare our results with the ΛCDM and modified Chaplygin gas models, respectively. We infer several theoretical constraints which could reveal such quantum gravity effects.

We studied the effects of the Lorentz invariance violation on the rotation of neutron stars (NSs) in the minimal gravitational Standard-Model Extension framework, and calculated the quadrupole radiation generated by them. Aiming at testing Lorentz invariance with observations of continuous gravitational waves (GWs) from rotating NSs in the future, we compared the GW spectra of a rotating ellipsoidal NS under Lorentz-violating gravity with those of a Lorentz-invariant one. The former were found to possess frequency components higher than the second harmonic, which does not happen for the latter, indicating those higher frequency components to be potential signatures of Lorentz violation in continuous GW spectra of rotating NSs.

We show that a general principle of physical independence or physical invariance of mathematical background manifold leads to a replacement of the common derivative operators by the covariant co-derivative ones. This replacement naturally induces a background matrix, by means of which we obtain an effective Lagrangian for the minimal standard model with supplement terms characterizing Lorentz invariance violation or anisotropy of spacetime. We construct a simple model of the background matrix and find that the strength of Lorentz violation of proton in the photopion production is of the order 10-23.
