Approaching space time trough velocity in Doubly Special Relativity
We discuss the definition of velocity as dE/d|p|, where E,p are the energy and momentum of a particle, in Doubly Special Relativity (DSR). If this definition matches dx/dt appropriate for the space-time sector, then space-time can in principle be built consistently with the existence of an invariant length scale. We show that, within different possible definitions, this program fails, and this ...
متن کاملDoubly-Special Relativity: Facts, Myths and Some Key Open Issues
I report, emphasizing some key open issues and some aspects that are particularly relevant for phenomenology, on the status of the development of “doubly-special” relativistic (“DSR”) theories with both an observer-independent high-velocity scale and an observer-independent small-length/large-momentum scale, possibly relevant for the Planck-scale/quantum-gravity realm. I also give a true/false ...
متن کاملDoubly Special Relativity
I give a short non-technical review of the results obtained in recent work on “Doubly Special Relativity”, the relativistic theories in which the rotation/boost transformations between inertial observers are characterized by two observer-independent scales (the familiar velocity scale, c, and a new observer-independent length/momentum scale, naturally identified with the Planck length/momentum)...
متن کاملOn the definition of velocity in theories with two observer-independent scales
We argue that a consistent definition of the velocity of a particle in generalizations of special relativity with two observer-independent scales should be independent from the mass of the particle. This request rules out the definition vi = ∂p0/∂pi, but allows for other definitions proposed in the literature. ∗email: [email protected]
متن کاملPhase Spaces of Doubly Special Relativity
We show that depending on the direction of deformation of κ-Poincaré algebra (time-like, space-like, or light-like) the associated phase spaces of single particle in Doubly Special Relativity theories have the energy-momentum spaces of the form of de Sitter, anti-de Sitter, and flat space, respectively.
