Position Space Versions of Magueijo-smolin Doubly Special Relativity Proposal and the Problem of Total Momentum
نویسنده
چکیده
We present and discuss two different possibilities to construct position space version for the Magueijo-Smolin (MS) doubly special relativity proposal. The first possibility is to start from ordinary special relativity and then to define conserved momentum in special way. It generates MS invariant as well as nonlinear MS transformations on the momentum space, leading to consistent picture for one-particle sector of the theory. The second possibility is based on the following observation. Besides the nonlinear MS transformations, the MS energy-momentum relation is invariant also under some inhomogeneous linear transformations. The latter are induced starting from linearly realized Lorentz group in five-dimensional position space. Particle dynamics and kinematics are formulated starting from the corresponding five-dimensional interval. There is no of the problem of total momentum in the theory. The formulation admits two observer independent scales, the speed of light, c, and k with dimension of velocity. We speculate on different possibilities to relate k with fundamental constants. In particular, expression of k in terms of vacuum energy suggests emergence of (minimum) quantum of mass.

The Magueijo-Smolin Group is Linear in Five Dimensions
Magueijo and Smolin have introduced a modification of the Lorentz group for the momentum-space transformations in Doubly-Special Relativity. As presented the group is non-linear, but we show that it is a group of fraction-linear transformations in 4 dimensional real projective space. We pass to the associated 5 dimensional linear space and identify the subgroup as a conjugate of the ordinary Lo...
متن کاملBerry Phase Effects in the Dynamics of Dirac Electrons in Doubly Special Relativity Framework
We consider the Doubly Special Relativity (DSR) generalization of Dirac equation in an external potential in the Magueijo-Smolin base. The particles obey a modified energy-momentum dispersion relation. The semiclassical diagonalization of the Dirac Hamiltonian reveals the intrinsic Berry phase effects in the particle dynamics.

Non-linear special relativity (or doubly special relativity) is a simple framework for encoding properties of flat quantum space-time. In this paper we show how this formalism may be generalized to incorporate curvature (leading to what might be called “doubly general relativity”). We first propose a dual to nonlinear realizations of relativity in momentum space, and show that for such a dual t...

متن کاملPhase Space and Geometric (lagrangian) Description of Magueijo-smolin Particle
In this paper we have constructed a phase space Lagrangian model of a point particle that satisfies the Doubly Special Relativity dispersion relation in the Magueijo-Smolin framework. The symplectic structure induces a non-commutative phase space algebra. The coordinate space (or geometric) Lagrangian and inclusion of interactions are briefly discussed. The work serves as a demonstration of how...
