Abstract
We show that quartic modifications of relativistic dispersion relations arise generically from deformation-quantized phase spaces under minimal kinematical assumptions relevant to quantum gravity. When the kinematics admits an integral symplectic structure, a compatible almost-complex structure, and a gauge-invariant two-form sector, the leading Planck-scale correction is controlled by a single geometric length scale. We establish this result through three independent approaches: Fedosov-Berezin quantization, spectral geometry, and a topos-theoretic formulation, all of which yield the same quartic correction and clarify the origin of its apparent universality.
