Relativistic Thermodynamics with an Invariant Energy Scale

Understand

A particular framework for Quantum Gravity is the Doubly Special Relativity (DSR) formalism that introduces a new observer independent scale, the Planck energy.

• Our aim in this paper is to study the effects of this energy upper bound in relativistic thermodynamics.
• We have explicitly computed the modified equation of state for an ideal fluid in the DSR framework.
• In deriving our result we exploited the scheme of treating DSR as a non-linear representation of the Lorentz group in Special Relativity.
