In the attempts toward a quantum gravity theory, general relativity faces a serious difficulty since it is non-renormalizable theory. Hov{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity offers a framework to circumvent this difficulty, by sacrificing the local Lorentz invariance at ultra-high energy scales in exchange of power-counting renormalizability. The Lorentz symmetry is expected to be recovered at low and medium energy scales. If gravitation is to be described by a Hov{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity theory there are a number of issues that ought to be reexamined in its context, including the question as to whether this gravity incorporates a chronology protection, or particularly if it allows Godel-type solutions with violation of causality. We show that Hov{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity only allows hyperbolic Godel-type space-times whose essential parameters $m$ and $omega$ are in the chronology respecting intervals, excluding therefore any noncausal Godel-type space-times in the hyperbolic class. There emerges from our results that the famous noncausal Godel model is not allowed in Hov{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity. The question as to whether this quantum gravity theory permits hyperbolic Godel-type solutions in the chronology preserving interval of the essential parameters is also examined. We show that Hov{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity not only excludes the noncausal Godel universe, but also rules out any hyperbolic Godel-type solutions for physically well-motivated perfect-fluid matter content.
An extension of Horava-Lifshitz gravity was recently proposed in order to address the pathological behavior of the scalar mode all previo
We quantize the two-dimensional projectable Horava-Lifshitz gravity with a bi-local as well as space-like wormhole interaction. The resulting quantum Hamiltonian coincides with the one obtained through summing over all genus in the string field theor
We explore the relationship between the first law of thermodynamics and gravitational field equation at a static, spherically symmetric black hole horizon in Hov{r}ava-Lifshtiz theory with/without detailed balance. It turns out that as in the cases o
Horava gravity breaks Lorentz symmetry by introducing a dynamical timelike scalar field (the khronon), which can be used as a preferred time coordinate (thus selecting a preferred space-time foliation). Adopting the khronon as the time coordinate, th
We propose a new cosmological framework in which the strength of the gravitational force acted on dark matter at late time can be weaker than that on the standard matter fields without introducing extra gravitational degrees of freedom. The framework
