Abstract

In this paper we recall the construction of scalar field action on κ\kappa-Minkowski space-time and investigate its properties. In particular we show how the co-product of κ\kappa-Poincar\'e algebra of symmetries arises from the analysis of the symmetries of the action, expressed in terms of Fourier transformed fields. We also derive the action on commuting space-time, equivalent to the original one. Adding the self-interaction Φ4\Phi^4 term we investigate the modified conservation laws. We show that the local interactions on κ\kappa-Minkowski space-time give rise to 6 inequivalent ways in which energy and momentum can be conserved at four-point vertex. We discuss the relevance of these results for Doubly Special Relativity.
