Description

Searching for minuscule departures from exact Lorentz symmetry is an excellent
probe of new physics; recently, there has been a large increase in gravity tests
of Lorentz symmetry. In the context of the Standard-Model Extension
effective field theory, we discuss and summarise recent developments in the search
for Lorentz violation. We also present recent work done in Lorentz-violating models of gravity.
