1 Lorentz violation in cosmology why, how and where Diego Blas w/ B. Audren, E. Barausse, M. Ivanov, J. Lesgourgues, O. Pujolàs, H. Sanctuary, S. Sibiryakov, K. Yagi, N. Yunes Diego Blas, COSMO 12 Beijing

2 Why Lorentz Violation

3 Why Lorentz Violation Why modifying General Relativity? Learning something fundamental about Nature Improve the UV properties of GR New ideas for black hole thermodynamics New ideas for cosmic acceleration Interesting (testable) phenomenology

4 Why Lorentz Violation Why modifying General Relativity? Learning something fundamental about Nature Improve the UV properties of GR New ideas for black hole thermodynamics New ideas for cosmic acceleration Interesting (testable) phenomenology LV paradise for lazy theorists!

5 Why Lorentz Violation Lorentz invariance (LI) is a key ingredient of Particle Physics, Gravity, Dark Sector is it necessary? which are the bounds? Bounds: PPN benefits of violating LI in gravity: quantum gravity (Hořava gravity, CDT, ) new ideas for black holes technically natural alternative to ΛCDM (ΘCDM)

27 Conclusions Exploring Lorentz violation yields a rich phenomenology with strong theoretical motivations (effective or fundamental) Lorentz violation modifies gravity at every scale (extra massless d.o.f.
