Abstract

In this paper, we show that the causally connected 44-dimensional line element of the κ\kappa-deformed Minkowski space-time induces an upper cut-off on the proper acceleration and derive this maximal acceleration, valid up to first order in the deformation parameter. We find a contribution to maximal acceleration which is independent of \hbar and thus signals effect of the non-commutativity alone. We also construct the κ\kappa-deformed geodesic equation and obtain its κ\kappa-deformed Newtonian limit, valid up to first order in deformation parameter. Using this, we constrain non-commutative parameters present in the expression for maximal acceleration. We analyse different limits of the maximal acceleration and also discuss its implication to maximal temperature. We also obtain a bound on the deformation parameter.
