Description

The uncertainty relations associated to the covariant κ-deformation of D = 4 relativistic symmetries, with quantum ''time'' coordinate and modified Heisenberg algebra, are shown to be consistent with independent heuristic estimates of limitations on the measurability of space-time distances. Our analysis generalizes the one previously reported by one of us, which considered only the space-time coordinate sector. (author)
