The launch of the Fermi telescope in 2008 opened up the possibility of measuring the energy dependence of the speed of light by considering the time delay in the arrival of gamma ray bursts emitted simultaneously from very distant sources.The expected time delay between the arrival of gamma rays of significantly different energies as predicted by the framework of relative locality has already been calculated in Riemann normal coordinates. In the following, we calculate the time delay in more generality and then specialize to the connection normal coordinate system as a check that the results are coordinate independent. We also show that this result does not depend on the presence of torsion.

Theories of gravity that obey the Weak Equivalence Principle have the same Parametrised Post-Newtonian parameter $gamma$ for all particles at all energies. The large Shapiro time delays of extragalactic sources allow us to put tight constraints on di
fferences in $gamma$ between photons of different frequencies from spectral lag data, since a non-zero $Delta gamma$ would result in a frequency-dependent arrival time. The majority of previous constraints have assumed that the Shapiro time delay is dominated by a few local massive objects, although this is a poor approximation for distant sources. In this work we consider the cosmological context of these sources by developing a source-by-source, Monte Carlo-based forward model for the Shapiro time delays by combining constrained realisations of the local density field using the BORG algorithm with unconstrained large-scale modes. Propagating uncertainties in the density field reconstruction and marginalising over an empirical model describing other contributions to the time delay, we use spectral lag data of Gamma Ray Bursts from the BATSE satellite to constrain $Delta gamma < 3.4 times 10^{-15}$ at $1 sigma$ confidence between photon energies of $25 {rm , keV}$ and $325 {rm , keV}$.
This proceeding is based on a talk prepared for the XIII Marcell Grossmann meeting. We summarise some results of work in progress in collaboration with Giovanni Amelino-Camelia about momentum dependent (Rainbow) metrics in a Relative Locality framewo
rk and we show that this formalism is equivalent to the Hamiltonian formalization of Relative Locality obtained in arXiv:1102.4637.
The cosmological origin of $gamma$-ray bursts (GRBs) is now commonly accepted and, according to several models for the central engine, GRB sources should also emit at the same time gravitational waves bursts (GWBs). We have performed two correlation
searches between the data of the resonant gravitational wave detector AURIGA and GRB arrival times collected in the BATSE 4B catalog. No correlation was found and an upper limit bbox{$h_{text{RMS}} leq 1.5 times 10^{-18}$} on the averaged amplitude of gravitational waves associated with $gamma$-ray bursts has been set for the first time.
Lorentz Invariance Violation in Quantum Gravity (QG) models or a non-zero photon mass, $m_gamma$, would lead to an energy-dependent propagation speed for photons, such that photons of different energies from a distant source would arrive at different
times, even if they were emitted simultaneously. By developing source-by-source, Monte Carlo-based forward models for such time delays from Gamma Ray Bursts, and marginalising over empirical noise models describing other contributions to the time delay, we derive constraints on $m_gamma$ and the QG length scale, $ell_{rm QG}$, using spectral lag data from the BATSE satellite. We find $m_gamma < 4.0 times 10^{-5} , h , {rm eV}/c^2$ and $ell_{rm QG} < 5.3 times 10^{-18} , h , {rm , GeV^{-1}}$ at 95% confidence, and demonstrate that these constraints are robust to the choice of noise model. The QG constraint is among the tightest from studies which consider multiple Gamma Ray Bursts and the constraint on $m_gamma$, although weaker than from using radio data, provides an independent constraint which is less sensitive to the effects of dispersion by electrons.
The effect of Quantum Gravity (QG) may bring a tiny light speed variation as $v(E)=c(1-E/E_{rm LV})$, where $E$ is the photon energy and $E_{rm LV}$ is a Lorentz violation scale. A remarkable regularity was suggested in previous studies to look for t
he light speed variation from high energy photon events of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). We provide a general analysis on the data of 25 bright GRBs observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (FGST). Such method allows a completed scan over all possibilities in a more clean and impartial way without any bias compared to previous intuitive analysis. The results show that with the increase in the intrinsic energies of photons, such regularity truly emerges and gradually becomes significant. For photons with intrinsic energies higher than 40~GeV, the regularity exists at a significance of 3-5~$sigma$ with $E_{rm LV}=3.6times 10^{17}~rm GeV$ determined by the GRB data.
