Exploring Special Relative Locality with deSitter momentum-space
Abstract
Relative Locality is a recent approach to the quantum-gravity problem which allows to tame nonlocality effects which may rise in some models which try to describe Planck-scale physics. I here explore the effect of Relative Locality on basic special-relativistic phenomena. In particular I study the deformations due to Relative Locality of special-relativistic transformation laws for momenta at all orders in the rapidity parameter . I underline how those transformations also define the RL characteristic (momentum-dependent) invariant metric. I focus my analysis on the well studied deSitter momentum-space framework and I investigate the differences and similarities between this model and Special Relativity, from the definition of the boost parameter to a first discussion of transverse-effects characteristic of Relative Locality on clocks observables.
