Non-Commutativity, Teleology and GRB Time Delay

arXiv:0904.1079 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2009.11.032

Abstract

We propose a model in which an energy-dependent time delay of a photon originates from space-time non-commutativity, the time delay is due to a noncommutative coupling between dilaton and photon. We predict that in our model, high energy photons with different momenta can either be delayed or superluminal, this may be related to a possible time delay reported by the Fermi LAT and Fermi GBM Collaborations.
