Constraints on Covariant Horava-Lifshitz Gravity from frame-dragging experiment

Understand

The effects of Horava-Lifshitz corrections to the gravito-magnetic field are analyzed.

• Solutions in the weak field, slow motion limit, referring to the motion of a satellite around the Earth are considered.
• The post-newtonian paradigm is used to evaluate constraints on the Horava-Lifshitz parameter space from current satellite and terrestrial experiments data.
• In particular, we focus on GRAVITY PROBE B, LAGEOS and the more recent LARES mission, as well as a forthcoming terrestrial project, GINGER.
