Abstract

The propagation speed of gravitational waves, cT, has been tightly constrained by the binary neutron star merger GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart, under the assumption of a frequency-independent cT. Drawing upon arguments from Effective Field Theory and quantum gravity, we discuss the po...
