The workshop will focus on the theoretical issues related to violations of Lorentz invariance and its experimental constraints, emphasising cosmological and astrophysical tests.
The purpose of this meeting is to gather experts from different areas to discuss the experimental challenges and the most striking phenomenological predictions emerging from different Lorentz symmetry-violating theoretical models.
TOPICS:
Lorentz symmetry breaking
Lorentz symmetry deformation
Cosmological tests of Lorentz symmetry
Probing space-time symmetries with astrophysical observations
