Ideal gas thermodynamics with an invariant energy scale

Abstract

A viable approach towards Quantum Gravity is the Doubly Special Relativity (DSR) framework in which an observer-independent finite energy upper bound (or a finite smallest length scale) appears quite naturally. In this work, we have studied the thermodynamic properties of an ideal gas in a specific DSR framework, known as the Magueijo-Smolin (MS) Model. We use the fact that DSR can be considered as nonlinear representation of Lorentz Group. Subsequently, various thermodynamic parameters of ideal gas have been derived in this modified framework to compare the corresponding deviations from the usual scenario due to the presence of the invariant energy (length) scale.
