Doubly Special Relativity: A New Relativity or Not?
Double Special Relativity theories are the relativistic theories in which the
transformations between inertial observers are characterized by two
observer-independent scales of the light speed and the Planck length. We study
two main examples of these theories and want to show that these theories are
not the new theories of relativity, but only are re-descriptions of Einstein's
special relativity in the non-conventional coordinates.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figures, to appear in proceedings of ERE2005, the XXVIII

Poisson structure on a space with linear SU(2) fuzziness
The Poisson structure is constructed for a model in which spatial coordinates
of configuration space are noncommutative and satisfy the commutation relations
of a Lie algebra. The case is specialized to that of the group SU(2), for which
the counterpart of the angular momentum, as well as the Euler parameterization
of the phase space are introduced. SU(2)-invariant classical systems are
discussed, and it is observed that the path of particle can be obtained by the
solution of a first-order equation, as the case with such models on commutative
spaces. The examples of free particle, rotationally-invariant potentials, and
specially the isotropic harmonic oscillator are investigated in more detail.Comment: 12+1 pages, no figs, LaTeX2
