White Paper and Roadmap for Quantum Gravity Phenomenology in the Multi-Messenger Era
read the original abstract
The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity has long been elusive. Only recently have empirical predictions of various possible theories of quantum gravity been put to test, where a clear signal of quantum properties of gravity is still missing. The dawn of multi-messenger high-energy astrophysics has been tremendously beneficial, as it allows us to study particles with much higher energies and travelling much longer distances than possible in terrestrial experiments, but more progress is needed on several fronts. A thorough appraisal of current strategies and experimental frameworks, regarding quantum gravity phenomenology, is provided here. Our aim is twofold: a description of tentative multimessenger explorations, plus a focus on future detection experiments. As the outlook of the network of researchers that formed through the COST Action CA18108 ``Quantum gravity phenomenology in the multi-messenger approach (QG-MM)'', in this work we give an overview of the desiderata that future theoretical frameworks, observational facilities, and data-sharing policies should satisfy in order to advance the cause of quantum gravity phenomenology.

Coherent states in minimal-length Quantum Mechanics: inequivalent characterizations and emergent squeezing
Minimal length via GUP makes the usual coherent state characterizations inequivalent for the harmonic oscillator, deforming phase-space trajectories and inducing intrinsic squeezing absent in standard quantum mechanics.

On the Consistency of Covariant Light-Speed Variation in Doubly Special Relativity
In the DSR1 model with subluminal light-speed variation, a boosted box can overtake its own emitted photon above a critical rapidity, leading to tensions in particle counting and motion not resolved by relative locality.
