Deformed Boost Transformations That Saturate at the Planck Scale

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We derive finite boost transformations based on the Lorentz sector of the bicross-product-basis κ\kappa-Poincare' Hopf albegra. We emphasize the role of these boost transformations in a recently-proposed new relativistic theory. We find that when the (dimensionful) deformation parameter is identified with the Planck length, which together with the speed-of-light constant has the status of observer-independent scale in the new relativistic theory, the deformed boosts saturate at the value of momentum that corresponds to the inverse of the Planck length.
