In the paper, we propose a modified relativistic dynamics for a particle moving with an accel- eration aa with respect to a background frame of vacuum with a temperature TT. This background temperature is detected by such an accelerated particle according to Unruh effect, working like a background thermal bath. The Planck temperature TPT_P is associated with the Planck energy EPE_P, which is obtained for the so-called Planck acceleration aPa_P, being maximum and unattainable (invariant). Thus, the acceleration in the scenario of a deformed special relativity (DSR) leads to a a thermal background field that represents a preferred frame. Hence, the energy E=mc2E=mc^2 needs a correction close to the Planck energy EPE_P, so that the well-known Magueijo-Smolin energy equation is obtained. However, it is interpreted within a cosmological and thermodynamic scenario where a thermal vacuum arises to the accelaration of the particle. Furthermore, we also show that the speed of light has diverged at the beginning of the universe with Planck temperature when the inflation occurred due to the Planck acceleration. Therefore, there was a rapid decrease of the speed of light during the cosmic inflation, which contradicts the varying speed ligh (VSL) theories used to explain the so-called horizon problem.

You can write a PREreview of Deformed Special Relativity in Light of Unruh Effect. A PREreview is a review of a preprint and can vary from a few sentences to a lengthy report, similar to a journal-organized peer-review report.
