Proceedings of the Third Meeting on CPT and Lorentz Symmetry, Bloomington, USA, 4-7 August 2004 /

Lorentz and CPT invariance is a feature of the Standard Model of particle physics and of theories of gravity such as Einstein's general relativity. However, an underlying theory such as strings may introduce small violations of Lorentz and CPT symmetry. This book consists of reviews from about...
