Causal loops in the theory of relative locality
Copyright policy )Causal loops in the theory of relative locality
We find that relative locality, a recently proposed Planck-scale deformation of special relativity, suffers from the existence of causal loops. A simple and general construction of such on-shell loop processes is studied. We then show that even in one of the weakest deformations of the Poincaré group in relative locality, causality can be violated.
