Lorentz violation in gravity: why, how and where – Diego Blas

Recent approaches to quantum gravity question the role of Lorentz invariance as a fundamental symmetry of Nature. This has implications for most of the observables in gravitational physics, also at low-energies. In this talk I will describe recent bounds on deviations from Lorentz invariance in gravity coming from binary pulsar observations and cosmological data.
