Linearized supergravity with a dynamical preferred frame

We study supersymmetric extension of the Einstein-aether gravitational model where local Lorentz invariance is broken down to the subgroup of spatial rotations by a vacuum expectation value of a timelike vector field called aether. Embedding aether into a ...

Phonon-Ion Interactions: Designing Ion Mobility Based on Lattice Dynamics

Sokseiha Muy

This review is focused on the influence of lattice dynamics on the ionic mobility in superionic conductors in particular solid-state Li-ion conductors. After a succinct review of the static view of ionic conduction, the role of polarizability as the underl ...

Spatio-temporal shaping of a free-electron wave function via coherent light-electron interaction

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Giovanni Maria Vanacore

The past decade has witnessed a quantum revolution in the field of computation, communication and materials investigation. A similar revolution is also occurring for free-electron based techniques, where the classical treatment of a free electron as a poin ...

Supergravity with broken Lorentz invariance: theory and phenomenological consequences

Sergey Sibiryakov

We construct and study supersymmetric extension of the Einstein-aether gravitational theory. Using superfield formalism we carry out unique linearized Lorentz violating supergravity action invariant under super-gauge transformations and obtain its bosonic ...

UV-extending ghost inflation

Sergey Sibiryakov, Mikhail Ivanov

We present a setup that provides a partial UV-completion of the ghost inflation model up to a scale which can be almost as high as the Planck mass. This is achieved by coupling the inflaton to the Lorentz-violating sector described by the Einstein-aether t ...

Horava gravity versus thermodynamics: The black hole case

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Under broad assumptions, breaking of Lorentz invariance in gravitational theories leads to tension with unitarity because it allows for processes that apparently violate the second law of thermodynamics. The crucial ingredient of this argument is the exist ...
