Doubly Special Relativity versus $κ$-deformation of relativistic kinematics

Abstract

We argue that recently proposed by Amelino-Camelia et all [1,2] so-called doubly special relativity (DSR), with deformed boost transformations identical with the formulae for $κ$-deformed kinematics in bicrossproduct basis is a classical special relativity in nonlinear disguise. The choice of symmetric composition law for deformed fourmomenta as advocated in [1, 2] implies that DSR is obtained by considering nonlinear fourmomenta basis of classical Poincaré algebra and it does not lead to noncommutative space-time. We also show how to construct large two classes of doubly special relativity theories - generalizing the choice in [1,2] and the one presented by Magueijo and Smolin [3]. The older version of deformed relativistic kinematics, differing essentially from classical theory in the coalgebra sector and leading to noncommutative $κ$-deformed Minkowski space is provided by quantum $κ$-deformation of Poincaré symmetries.
