Abstract

The Poincar\'e sector of a recently deformed conformal algebra is proposed to describe, after the identification of the deformation parameter with the Planck length, the symmetries of a new relativistic theory with two observer-independent scales (or DSR theory). Also a new non-commutative space-time is proposed. It is found that momentum space exhibits the same features of the DSR proposals preserving Lorentz invariance in a deformed way. The space-time sector is a generalization of the well known non-commutative κ\kappa-Minkowski space-time which however does not preserve Lorentz invariance, not even in the deformed sense. It is shown that this behavior could be expected in some attempts to construct DSR theories starting from the Poincar\'e sector of a deformed symmetry larger than Poincar\'e symmetry, unless one takes a variable Planck length. It is also shown that the formalism can be useful in analyzing the role of quantum deformations in the ``AdS-CFT correspondence".
