Abstract

A deformed relativistic kinematics can be understood within a geometrical framework through a maximally symmetric momentum space. However, when considering this kind of approach, usually one works in a flat spacetime and in a curved momentum space. In this paper, we will discuss a possible generalization to take into account both curvatures and some possible observable effects. We will first explain how to construct a metric in the cotangent bundle in order to have a curved spacetime with a nontrivial geometry in momentum space and the relationship with an action in phase space characterized by a deformed Casimir. Then, we will study within this proposal two different space-time geometries. In the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe, we will see the modifications in the geodesics (redshift, luminosity distance and geodesic expansion) due to a momentum dependence of the metric in the cotangent bundle. Also, we will see that when the spacetime considered is a Schwarzschild black hole, one still has a common horizon for particles with different energies, differently from a Lorentz invariance violation case. However, the surface gravity computed as the peeling off of null geodesics is energy dependent.
