Theory and phenomenology of relativistic corrections to the Heisenberg principle [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The Heisenberg position-momentum uncertainty principle shares with the equivalence principle the role of main pillar of our current description of nature. However, in its original formulation it is inconsistent with special relativity, and in nearly a century of investigation not much progress has been made toward a satisfactory reformulation.

About Locality and the Relativity Principle Beyond Special Relativity [PDF]
Phys. Rev. D 84, 085010 (2011), 2011 Locality of interactions is an essential ingredient of Special Relativity. Recently, a new framework under the name of relative locality \cite{AmelinoCamelia:2011bm} has been proposed as a way to consider Planckian modifications of the relativistic dynamics of particles.

Application of the Campbell-Magaard theorem to higher-dimensional physics
, 2003 Stated succinctly, the original version of the Campbell-Magaard theorem says that it is always possible to locally embed any solution of 4-dimensional general relativity in a 5-dimensional Ricci-flat manifold.

Deformed General Relativity [PDF]
Phys. Rev. D 87 (2013) 044044, 2012 Deformed special relativity is embedded in deformed general relativity using the methods of canonical relativity and loop quantum gravity. Phase-space dependent deformations of symmetry algebras then appear, which in some regimes can be rewritten as non-linear Poincare algebras with momentum-dependent deformations of commutators between boosts and time

Special Relativity: Scientific or Philosophical Theory?
, 2016 In this article, we argue that the theory of special relativity, as formulated by Einstein, is a philosophical rather than a scientific theory. What is scientific and experimentally supported is the formalism of the relativistic mechanics embedded in the

Passage of Time in a Planck Scale Rooted Local Inertial Structure [PDF]
, 2003 It is argued that the `problem of time' in quantum gravity necessitates a refinement of the local inertial structure of the world, demanding a replacement of the usual Minkowski line element by a 4+2n dimensional pseudo-Euclidean line element, with the ...
