Abstract

We present here a perspective on results obtained in collaboration with Amelino-Camelia, Marcianó and Matassa, reported in Ref. [1]. We characterize a relativistic theory of worldlines of particles with 3 nontrivial relativistic invariants: a large speed scale ("speed-of-light scale"), a large distance scale (inverse of the "expansion-rate scale'), and a large momentum scale ("Planck scale"). This is particularly relevant in relation to the opportunities for testing Planck-scale-deformed Lorentz symmetry scenarios with analyses, from a signal-propagation perspective, of observations of bursts of particles from cosmological distances. We address some of the challenges that had obstructed success for previous attempts by exploiting the recent understanding of the connection between deformed Lorentz symmetry and relativity of spacetime locality.
