The Magueijo-Smolin Group is Linear in Five Dimensions

چکیده
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 Lorentz group, giving the conjugating matrix. Taking the dual of the 5-space, we identify a subgroup as the Lorentz transformations about a point different to the origin.

Position Space Versions of Magueijo-smolin Doubly Special Relativity Proposal and the Problem of Total Momentum
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 o...
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...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 6 Generalized commutation relations and Non linear momenta theories , a close relationship
A revision of generalized commutation relations is performed, besides a description of Non linear momenta realization included in some DSR theories. It is shown that these propositions are closely related, specially we focus on Magueijo Smolin momenta and Kempf et al. and L.N. Chang generalized commutators. Due to this, a new algebra arises with its own features that is also analyzed.

A revision of generalized commutation relations is performed, beside a description of Deformed Special Relativity (DSR) theories.

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.
