Somewhere, in a war-torn century that had not yet begun, a soldier read Aris’s solution and smiled.
A gamma-ray burst of total isotropic equivalent energy E_iso = 10^55 erg is observed at redshift z = 4.5. The spectrum shows two anomalous features: (1) a sharp cutoff at 100 MeV that cannot be explained by pair production opacity, and (2) a periodic modulation in the arrival time of photons with energy > 10 GeV, period T = 0.73 s. Assuming these are not instrumental artifacts, propose a physical mechanism. Hint: Consider modifications to the vacuum dispersion relation in extra-dimensional brane-world scenarios. grb physics for competitions vol 2
