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.
Keywords: Lorentz-invariance; quantum gravity; quantum gravity phenomenology; deformed special relativity.
