Stecker, Floyd W.

Constraints on possible Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) to first order in E/ MPlanck for photons in the framework of effective field theory (EFT) are discussed, taking cosmological factors into account. Then, using the reported detection of polarized soft γ-ray emission from the γ-ray burst GRB041219a that is indicative of an absence…
