Velocity of particles in Doubly Special Relativity
Abstract
Doubly Special Relativity (DSR) is a class of theories of relativistic motion with two observer-independent scales. We investigate the velocity of particles in DSR, defining velocity as the Poisson bracket of position with the appropriate hamiltonian, taking care of the non-trivial structure of the DSR phase space. We find the general expression for four-velocity, and we show further that the three-velocity of massless particles equals 1 for all DSR theories. The relation between the boost parameter and velocity is also clarified.
