Towards a topological (dual of) quantum \(\kappa\)-Poincaré group (Q2507366)

We argue that the \(\kappa\)-deformation is related to a factorization of a Lie group, therefore an appropriate version of \(\kappa\)-Poincaré does exist on the \(C^*\)-algebraic level. The explicit form of this factorization is computed that leads to an ``action with singularities'' of the Lorentz group (with space reflections) considered in Amelino-Camelia's Doubly Special Relativity theory. The orbit structure is found and ``the momentum manifold'' is extended in a way that removes singularities and results in a true action. It turns out that this manifold is nonsimply connected and nonorientable (in dimension 1+3). It can be equipped with a Lorentzian metric and the Lorentz group acts by isometries. In the introduction, some aspects of \(\kappa\)-Poincaré algebra, among them the symmetric and nonsymmetric coproduct, are discussed.
