Uncertainty of Velocity in kappa-Minkowski Spacetime

Abstract

A velocity of a point particle in the kappa-Minkowski spacetime is investigated. Characteristic points of the spacetime are that the Poincare group becomes a quantum group with kappa, which is a mass dimension parameter, and is a kind of non-commutative geometry. We consider a particle in a coordinate space instead of it in a momentum space which is discussed in many articles. We see that the particle's velocity has an uncertainty which depends on a length of particle's propagation.
