Constraints on parity and Lorentz violations in gravity from GWTC-3 through a parametrization of modified gravitational wave propagations

Abstract

Gravitational wave (GW) observations provide sensitive tests of parity and Lorentz symmetries of gravity. Any violation of these fundamental symmetries induces possible deviations in the GW propagations. Through a systematic parametrization for characterizing possible derivations from GW propagations in general relativity, we construct the modified GW waveforms generated by the coalescence of compact binaries with the effects of the parity and Lorentz violations as predicted by many parity- and Lorentz-violating gravities and then analyze them with the open data of compact binary merging events detected by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration. No signature of gravitational parity and Lorentz violations are found for most GW events, thereby allowing us to place several of the most stringent constraints on parity and Lorentz violations in gravity and a first constraint on the Lorentz-violating damping effect in GW.
