Impossibility of superluminal travel in Lorentz violating theories

Antonin Coutant, Stefano Finazzi, Stefano Liberati +1

Warp drives are space-times allowing for superluminal travel. However, they are quantum mechanically unstable because they produce a Hawking-like radiation which is blue shifted at…
