The possible description of the vacuum of quantum gravity through the so called κ-Poincaré group is analyzed considering some of the consequences of this symmetry in the path integral formulation of non-relativistic quantum theory. This study is carried out with two cases, firstly, a free particle, and finally, the situation of a particle immersed in a homogeneous gravitational field. It will be shown that the κ-Poincaré group implies the loss of some of the basic properties associated to Feynman’s path integral. For instance, loss of the group characteristic related to the time dependence of the evolution operator, or the breakdown of the composition law for amplitudes of events occurring successively in time. Additionally some similarities between the present idea and the so called restricted path integral formalism will be underlined. These analogies advocate the claim that if the κ-Poincaré group contains some of the physical information of the quantum gravity vacuum, then this vacuum could entail decoherence. This last result will also allow us to consider the possibility of analyzing the continuous measurement problem of quantum theory from a group-theoretical point of view, but now taking into account the κ-Poincaré symmetries.
