The Soccer-Ball Problem
read the original abstract
The idea that Lorentz-symmetry in momentum space could be modified but still remain observer-independent has received quite some attention in the recent years. This modified Lorentz-symmetry, which has been argued to arise in Loop Quantum Gravity, is being used as a phenomenological model to test possibly observable effects of quantum gravity. The most pressing problem in these models is the treatment of multi-particle states, known as the 'soccer-ball problem'. This article briefly reviews the problem and the status of existing solution attempts.

On the Consistency of Covariant Light-Speed Variation in Doubly Special Relativity
In the DSR1 model with subluminal light-speed variation, a boosted box can overtake its own emitted photon above a critical rapidity, leading to tensions in particle counting and motion not resolved by relative locality.
