In this paper we review some aspects of relativistic particles' mechanics in the case of a non-trivial geometry of momentum space. We start with showing how the curved momentum space arises in the theory of gravity in 2+1 dimensions coupled to particles, when (topological) degrees of freedom of gravity are solved for. We argue that there might exist a similar topological phase of quantum gravity in 3+1 dimensions. Then we characterize the main properties of the theory of interacting particles with curved momentum space and the symmetries of the action. We discuss the spacetime picture and the emergence of the principle of relative locality, according to which locality of events is not absolute but becomes observer dependent, in the controllable, relativistic way. We conclude with the detailed review of the most studied kappa-Poincare framework, which corresponds to the de Sitter momentum space.

Generalized Fourier Transforms for Momentum-Space Construction on Riemannian Manifolds
A generalized Fourier transform is defined on any Riemannian manifold that satisfies a Parseval-Plancherel theorem and constructs unique momentum-space labels by resolving degeneracy with fiberwise maximal Abelian com...

Quantum-Gravitational Backreaction in the BTZ Background from Curved Momentum Space
A semiclassical deformed BTZ solution encodes Planck-scale kinematic modifications from curved momentum space in a nonlinear microscopic-to-ADM mass map, leaving local geometry and thermodynamics unchanged in form.
