Assuming the validity of the relativity principle, we discuss the implications on relativistic kinematics of a deformation of the Poincaré invariance that preserves the Poincaré algebra, and only modifies its action on spacetime in a Lorentz-invariant way. We show that, in contrast to the case in which the Poincaré algebra is deformed, the action of boosts on two-particle states is not affected, while the addition law of momenta is to a large extent arbitrary. We discuss some nontrivial examples of deformed addition laws related to the Snyder model.

Abstract

Assuming the validity of the relativity principle, we discuss the implications on relativistic kinematics of a deformation of the Poincaré invariance that preserves the Poincaré algebra, and only modifies its action on spacetime in a Lorentz-invariant way. We show that, in contrast to the case in which the Poincaré algebra is deformed, the action of boosts on two-particle states is not affected, while the addition law of momenta is to a large extent arbitrary. We discuss some nontrivial examples of deformed addition laws related to the Snyder model.
