Doubly Special Relativity  

In General > s.a. 3D gravity; 4-spinors; non-commutative field theory and geometry; poincaré; supergravity.
* Idea: "Doubly special relativity" or "deformed special relativity" (DSR either way) is any theory containing two fundamental, invariant scales–the speed of light and an energy, usually taken to be Ep; The Lorentz group does not act linearly in momentum space.
* Status: 2006, The conceptual status is not clear, as the interpretation of a theory in which conserved quantities are not additive is problematic.

Topics and Phenomenology > s.a. modified uncertainty relations; phenomenology of lorentz violation; types of gauge theories.
* Phenomenology: The most obvious consequence is a modification of the usual conservation laws; The usual quadratic dispersion relations are modified, so that the speed of light becomes energy dependent (without the presence of preferred frames).
* In cosmology: The theory may be used to induce a varying speed of sound capable of generating (near) scale-invariant density fluctuations.
