Dispersion of Gravitational Waves With h = c = G = 1 Without Lorentz violation: ω = k (1) Isotropic dispersion [1]: E2 = p2 + m2

g + Apα

⇒ ω2 = k2 + m2

g + Akα

⇒ vg(f) ≈ 1 − 1 2m2f−2 − 1 2Afα−2 (2)

The Central Question

How would the lensing pattern look like if gravitational waves are with dispersions?

Arrival Time Delay With dispersion td → c vg(f)td (6) From now on β(f) = c/vg(f) Dispersion changes the phase differences along the rays. ⇒ lensing pattern is changed.
