Testable scenario for Relativity with minimum-length
Giovanni Amelino-Camelia
I propose a general class of space-times whose structure is governed by observer-independent scales of both velocity () and length (Planck length), and I observe that these spac…
Relativity in space-times with short-distance structure governed by an observer-independent (Planckian) length scale
Giovanni Amelino-Camelia
I show that it is possible to formulate the Relativity postulates in a way that does not lead to inconsistencies in the case of space-times whose short-distance structure is govern…
Quantum theory's last challenge
Giovanni Amelino-Camelia
Quantum mechanics is now 100 years old and still going strong. Combining general relativity with quantum mechanics is the last hurdle to be overcome in the "quantum revolution".
Planck-scale deformation of Lorentz symmetry as a solution to the UHECR and the TeV- paradoxes
Giovanni Amelino-Camelia, Tsvi Piran
One of the most puzzling current experimental physics paradoxes is the arrival on Earth of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays with energies above the GZK threshold. The recent observati…
Planck-Length Phenomenology
Giovanni Amelino-Camelia
This author's recent proposal of interferometric tests of Planck-scale-related properties of space-time is here revisited from a strictly phenomenological viewpoint. The results an…
Cosmic rays and TeV photons as probes of quantum properties of space-time
Giovanni Amelino-Camelia, Tsvi Piran
It has been recently observed that small violations of Lorentz invariance, of a type which may arise in quantum gravity, could explain both the observations of cosmic rays above th…
On a possible quantum limit for the stabilization of moduli in brane-world scenarios
Giovanni Amelino-Camelia
I consider the implications for brane-world scenarios of the rather robust quantum-gravity expectation that there should be a quantum minimum limit on the uncertainty of all physic…
A testable description of space-time foam as a fundamental stochastic gravity-wave background
Giovanni Amelino-Camelia
I develop a phenomenological approach to the description of the noise levels that the space-time foam of quantum gravity could induce in modern gravity-wave detectors. Various poss…
Testing kappa-Poincare' with neutral kaons
Giovanni Amelino-Camelia, Franco Buccella
In recent work on experimental tests of quantum-gravity-motivated phenomenological models, a significant role has been played by the so-called ``'' deformations of Poincaré symm…
