PPN vs. SME
framework PPN SME
parameterizes
deviations from:
General Relativity
(including some
Lorentz violation)
exact Lorentz invariance
(including some
corrections to GR)
expansion about: GR metric GR + standard model
lagrangian
GR corrections? Yes Yes, different ones!
matter sector
/standard model
corrections?
No Yes
Lorentz invariant
corrections?
Yes (not primary interest)

parameterized deviations from GR are different!
Example: pure-gravity sector of minimal SME vs. PPN
• different coefficients
• can lead to qualitatively different results
If you currently investigate the PPN,
you may be able to test additional
physics using the SME!
