Gamma Ray Burst Constraints on Ultraviolet Lorentz Invariance Violation
arXiv:astro-ph/0607055 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2006.10.041
Abstract
We present a unified general formalism for ultraviolet Lorentz invariance violation (LV) testing through electromagnetic wave propagation, based on both dispersion and rotation measure data. This allows for a direct comparison of the efficacy of different data to constrain LV. As an example we study the signature of LV on the rotation of the polarization plane of -rays from gamma ray bursts in a LV model. Here -ray polarization data can provide a strong constraint on LV, 13 orders of magnitude more restrictive than a potential constraint from the rotation of the cosmic microwave background polarization proposed by Gamboa, López-Sarrión, and Polychronakos (2006).
