abstract

Gravitational waves would attain birefringence during their propagation from distant sources to the Earth, when the CPT symmetry is broken. If it was sizeable enough, such birefringence could be measured by the Advanced LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA detector network. In this work, we place constraints on the birefringence of gravitational waves with the third observing run of this network, i.e. two catalogues GWTC-2 and GWTC-3. For the dispersion relation $\omega^{2}=k^{2}\pm2\zeta k^{3}$, our analysis shows the up-to-date strictest limit on the CPT-violating parameter, i.e. \textcolor{black}{{$\zeta=4.07^{+5.91}_{-5.79}\times10^{-17}\mathrm{m}$}}, at $68\%$ confidence level. This limit is stricter by $\sim$5 times than the existing one {($\sim 2\times10^{-16}$m)} and stands for the first $\sim$10GeV-scale test of the CPT symmetry in gravitational waves. The results of Bayes factor strongly disfavor the birefringence scenario of gravitational waves.

  1. Gravitational Wave Birefringence in generalized Palatini Chern Simons

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Palatini f(R)+Chern–Simons gravity predicts amplitude and velocity birefringence in GW propagation, with the effect controlled by f_R and, under de-Sitter approximations, growing polynomially with redshift.

  2. Constraints on parity and Lorentz violations from gravitational waves: a comparison between single-parameter and multi-parameter analysis

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Multi-parameter and single-parameter gravitational-wave analyses yield comparable parity and Lorentz violation constraints for three models, but degeneracies weaken the multi-parameter result when two parameters modif...

  3. Constraining Lorentz and parity violations in gravity with multiband gravitational wave observations

    gr-qc 2026-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Future multiband GW networks could tighten Lorentz- and parity-violation energy-scale bounds by up to several orders of magnitude, with massive binaries best for low-frequency and loud binaries for high-frequency effects.

  4. Constraining parity and Lorentz violations in gravity with future ground- and space-based gravitational wave detectors

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Future gravitational wave detectors could tighten constraints on parity- and Lorentz-violating energy scales by one to three orders of magnitude, with space-based detectors winning for certain frequency dependencies.
