Model-independent constraints on Lorentz Invariance Violation with update observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts

Abstract: Searching the possible Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) from astrophysical sources such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is essential for finding evidences of new theories of quantum gravity. However, the effect of the underlying cosmological model is still understudied in the previous analysis. We take a novel approach using artificial neural networks to reconstruct the expansion history of the universe, thereby eliminating the influence of potential cosmological models to constrain LIV. 74 time delays from GRBs are considered to obtain stringent results on LIV, including 37 time delays measurements from GRB 160625B across various energy bands at redshift $z = 1.41$, and 37 additional GRBs with time delays spanning redshifts $0.117\leq z \leq1.99$. Our analysis yields stringent constraints on both linear and quadratic LIV, with $E_{QG,1} \geq 2.63 \times 10^{15}$ $GeV$ and $ E_{QG,2} \geq 1.19 \times 10^{10}$ $GeV$ that are four and nine orders of magnitude beneath the Planck energy scale, and shows the positive intrinsic time delay in GRBs. Our results demonstrate that such combination would significantly improve the precision and robustness of final results. Taking this into account may be an important contribution in the case of possible LIV detection in the future.
