Curved spacetimes with local -Poincaré dispersion relation

arXiv:1703.02058 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.96.084010

Abstract

We use our previously developed identification of dispersion relations with Hamilton functions on phase space to locally implement the -Poincaré dispersion relation in the momentum spaces at each point of a generic curved spacetime. We use this general construction to build the most general Hamiltonian compatible with spherical symmetry and the Plank-scale-deformed one such that in the local frame it reproduces the -Poincaré dispersion relation. Specializing to Planck-scale-deformed Schwarzschild geometry, we find that the photon sphere around a black hole becomes a thick shell since photons of different energy will orbit the black hole on circular orbits at different altitudes. We also compute the redshift of a photon between different observers at rest, finding that there is a Planck-scale correction to the usual redshift only if the observers detecting the photon have different masses.
