We derive finite boost transformations based on the Lorentz sector of the bicross-product-basis $\kappa$-Poincare' Hopf albegra. We emphasize the role of these boost transformations in a recently-proposed new relativistic theory. We find that when the (dimensionful) deformation parameter is identified with the Planck length, which together with the speed-of-light constant has the status of observer-independent scale in the new relativistic theory, the deformed boosts saturate at the value of momentum that corresponds to the inverse of the Planck length.

  1. On the Consistency of Covariant Light-Speed Variation in Doubly Special Relativity

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.
