We discuss the definition of velocity as dE=d|p|, where E, p are the energy and momentum of a particle, in doubly special relativity (DSR).

Abstract

We discuss the definition of velocity as dE=d|p|, where E, p are the energy and momentum of a particle, in doubly special relativity (DSR). If this definition matches dx/dt appropriate for the space-time sector, then space-time can in principle be built consistently with the existence of an invariant length scale. We show that, within different possible velocity definitions, a space-time compatible with momentum-space DSR principles cannot be derived.
