Motivation Can Lorentz Invariance be an accidental symmetry ? Context: Hořava Gravity recovery of LI at low energies is the most pressing issue phenomenologically
Motivation In this talk, 1) LV: 2) Gravity (mostly) turned off Poincaré dynamical preferred frame ”AETHER” timelike vev bounds from gravity:

RG & Lorentz Invariance LI In weakly coupled theories, LIemerges... very slowly! Suppression is only by a factor
RG & Lorentz Invariance let’s accelerate the running by turning to strong coupling LI LI
RG & Lorentz Invariance Idea: Near a strongly-coupled fixed point: accelerated running
RG & Lorentz Invariance Idea: Near a strongly-coupled fixed point: accelerated running power > 0 granted ( ) LV deformation Unitarity bound => is an irrelevant coupling suggests that ELI should not be an exceptional phenomenon

Conclusions RG + Strong Dynamics => fast Emergence of LI Emergent LI may not be an exceptional phenomenon The leading LV corrections are characterized by an exponent determined by the LILVO – least irrelevant LV operator -> RG scale = compositeness scale -> how large can be ??
Discussion Possible embedding of SM in a NR setup consists of SM=low-lying composite states of a strong sector compositeness – at low Energies ~ 100 TeV Limits on compositeness in SM? more strongly tested species -> more composite Realizing a composite SM? – no problem with fermions & H
