We extend our previous study of Hopf-algebraic $\kappa$-deformations of all inhomogeneous orthogonal Lie algebras ${\rm iso}(g)$ as written in a tensorial and unified form. Such deformations are determined by a vector $\tau$ which for…
A new formulation of Special Relativity is described. It is based on Cellular Automata theory and on a new theory of inertia called Quantum Inertia. The universe consists of a huge 3D array of cells given by C(x,y,z), whose numeric states…
In the Special Theory of Relativity space and time intervals are different in different frames of reference. As a consequence, the quantity 'velocity' of classical mechanics splits into different quantities in Special Relativity, coordinate…
"Doubly-special relativity" (DSR), the idea of a Planck-scale Minkowski limit that is still a relativistic theory, but with both the Planck scale and the speed-of-light scale as nontrivial relativistic invariants, was proposed…
Starting with two light clocks to derive time dilation expression, as many textbooks do, and then adding a third one, we work on relativistic spacetime coordinates relations for some simple events as emission, reflection and return of light…
A novel differential calculus with central inner product is introduced for kappa-Minkowski space. The `bad' behaviour of this differential calculus is discussed with reference to symplectic quantisation and A-infinity algebras. Using this…
We investigate the gauging of a two-dimensional deformation of the Poincare algebra, which accounts for the existence of an invariant energy scale. The model describes 2D dilaton gravity with torsion. We obtain explicit solutions of the…
Doubly Special Relativity (DSR) is a class of theories of relativistic motion with two observer-independent scales. We investigate the velocity of particles in DSR, defining velocity as the Poisson bracket of position with the appropriate…
Lorentz invariance is the fundamental symmetry of Einstein's theory of special relativity, and has been tested to great level of detail. However, theories of quantum gravity at the Planck scale indicate that Lorentz symmetry may be broken…
The classical $r$-matrix for $N=1$ superPoincar{\'e} algebra, given by Lukierski, Nowicki and Sobczyk is used to describe the graded Poisson structure on the $N=1$ Poincar{\'e} supergroup. The standard correspondence principle between the…
We discuss the construction of a free scalar quantum field theory on $\kappa$-Minkowski noncommutative spacetime. We do so in terms of $\kappa$-Poincar\'e-invariant $N$-point functions, i.e. multilocal functions which respect the deformed…
In $\kappa$-Minkowski spacetime, the coordinates are Lie algebraic elements such that time and space coordinates do not commute, whereas space coordinates commute each other. The non-commutativity is proportional to a Planck-length-scale…
In this pedagogical article, we explore a powerful language for describing the notion of spacetime and particle dynamics intrinsic to a given fundamental physical theory, focusing on special relativity and its Newtonian limit. The starting…
The Poincare' group generalizes the Galilei group for high-velocity kinematics. The de Sitter group is assumed to go one step further, generalizing Poincare' as the group governing high-energy kinematics. In other words, ordinary special…
We show a different modification of Poincare algebra that also preserves Lorentz algebra. The change begins with how boosts affect spacetime in a way similar to how they affect the momenta in kappa Poincare algebra, hence the term "dual…
We consider a two-time (characterized by distinct speeds of causality) and three-space-dimensional Minkowski space and derive relativistic coordinate and velocity transformation formulas and expressions for a new effective speed limit.…
Unified graded differential algebra, generated by $\kappa$-Minkowski noncommutative (NC) coordinates, Lorentz generators and anticommuting one-forms, is constructed. It is compatible with $\kappa$-Poincar\'e-Hopf algebra. For time- and…
Based on the principle of relativity and the postulate on universal invariant constants ($c,l$) as well as Einstein's isotropy conditions, three kinds of special relativity form a triple with a common Lorentz group as isotropy group under…
We study quantum causal structures in $1+1$ $\kappa$-Minkowski space-time described by a Lorentzian Spectral Triple whose Dirac operator is built from a natural set of twisted derivations of the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e algebra. We show that the…
We show that a recently proposed action for three-dimensional non-relativistic gravity can be obtained by taking the limit of a relativistic Lagrangian that involves the co-adjoint Poincare algebra. We point out the similarity of our…
