Title

Emergent Lorentz Symmetry and Deformed Special Relativity
Co-authors Petr Jizba

Abstract

In this talk show how a Brownian motion on a short scale can originate a relativistic motion on scales larger than the particle's Compton wavelength. Thus, Lorentz symmetry appears to be not a primitive concept, but rather it statistically emerges when a coarse graining average over distances of order, or longer than the Compton wavelength is taken. We also present the modifications necessary to accommodate in our scheme the doubly special relativistic dynamics. In this way, a previously unsuspected, common statistical origin of the two frameworks is brought to light for the first time. Salient issues such as generalized commutation relations are also discussed.
