Abstract

In a new theory, local Lorentz invariance is a low-energy symmetry which no longer holds when a fermion energy E is well above 1 TeV. Here we find that the modified E(p) relation is consistent with observation, and is in fact nearly the same as in Einstein relativity. On the other hand, there is a strong modification of the fermion equation of motion and propagator at ultrahigh energy, which should lead to observable effects.
