Deformations of Minkowski Spacetime  

In General > s.a. minkowski space.
* Idea: Deformed and non-commutative versions of Minkowski spacetime are motivated by expected features of quantum gravity.

Kappa-Minkowski Spacetime > s.a. doubly special relativity; momentum space [curved].
* Idea: In κ-Minkowski spacetime, space has a commutative spatial structure, but t does not commute with the spatial coordinates.
