Newton's Equation on the kappa space-time and the Kepler problem

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-12-09 v3

Abstract

We study the modification of Newton's second law, upto first order in the deformation parameter aa, in the κ\kappa-space-time. We derive the deformed Hamiltonian, expressed in terms of the commutative phase space variables, describing the particle moving in a central potential in the κ\kappa-space-time. Using this, we find the modified equations of motion and show that there is an additional force along the radial direction. Using Pioneer anomaly data, we set a bond as well as fix the sign of aa. We also analyse the violation of equivalence principle predicted by the modified Newton's equation, valid up to first order in aa and use this also to set an upper bound on aa.
