Deformed Heisenberg algebra and its Hilbert space representations

A deformation of Heisenberg algebra induces among other consequences a loss of Hermiticity of some operators that generate this algebra. Therefore, these operators are not Hermitian, nor is the Hamiltonian operator built from them. In the present paper, we propose a position deformation of Heisenberg algebra with both maximal length and minimal momentum uncertainties. By using a pseudo-similarity transformation to the non-Hermitian operators, we prove their Hermiticity with a suitable positive-definite pseudo-metric operator. We then construct Hilbert space representations associated with these pseudo-Hermitian operators. Finally, we study the eigenvalue problem of a free particle in this deformed space and we show that this deformation curved the quantum levels allowing particles to jump from one state to another with low energy transitions.

Rényi and Tsallis information entropies for a harmonic position-dependent mass

In this paper, we study Renyi and Tsallis information entropies for a Hamiltonian system with position-dependent mass confined in harmonic oscillator potential. Gegenbauer polynomials are used to obtain the position eigenfunction of such a system, and the modified Bessel function of the second kind is used to determine the equivalent momentum eigenfunction. By means of probability densities of both representations, we analytically and numerically evaluate the Heisenberg-like uncertainty of this system. Because the Renyi and Tsallis information entropies in position representation are described by integral functionals of the Gegenbauer polynomials, these quantities are much more difficult to calculate. To get around this problem, we evaluate these information entropies at the system s asymptotical limit, which corresponds to the behavior of an undeformed harmonic oscillator. Nevertheless, no approximation method is used to obtain the Tsallis and Renyi information entropies in momentum representation. In both representations, we find that these information entropies approach the Shannon entropy when the entropic parameter alpha-> 1 and are closed to the results of similar models of the literature. Finally, we evaluate the related entropic uncertainty relations numerically to validate the latter obersevations.

Higher lattice gauge theory from representations of 2-groups and 3+1D topological phases

We construct a higher lattice gauge theory based on the representation of 2-groups described by a category of crossed modules on a lattice model described by path 2-groupoids. Using these lattice gauge representations, an exactly solvable Hamiltonian for topological phases in 3+1 dimensions is constructed. We show that the ground states of this model are topological observables.

Hilbert space representation for quasi-Hermitian position-deformed Heisenberg algebra and Path integral formulation

Position deformation of a Heisenberg algebra and Hilbert space representation of both maximal length and minimal momentum uncertainties may lead to loss of Hermiticity of some operators that generate this algebra. Consequently, the Hamiltonian operator constructed from these operators are also not Hermitian. In the present paper, with an appropriate positive-definite Dyson map, we establish the Hermiticity of these operators by means of a quasi-similarity transformation. We then construct Hilbert space representations associated with these quasi-Hermitian operators that generate a quasi-Hermitian Heisenberg algebra. With the help of these representations we establish the path integral formulation of any systems in this quasi-Hermitian algebra. Finally, using the path integral of a free particle as an example, we demonstrate that the Euclidean propagator, action, and kinetic energy of this system are constrained by the standard classical mechanics limits.

Gazeau-Klauder coherent states for a harmonic position-dependent mass

In this paper, we study the dynamic of position-dependent mass system confined in harmonic oscillator potential. We derive the eigensystems by solving the Schr\''odinger-like equation which describes this system. We construct coherent states a Gazeau-Klauder for this system. We show that these states satisfy the Klauder's mathematical condition to build coherent states. We compute and analyse some statistical properties of these states. We find that these states exhibit sub-Poissonian statistics. We also evaluate quasiprobability distributions such as the Wigner function to demonstrate graphically nonclassical features of these states.

Path integral in position-deformed Heisenberg algebra with strong quantum gravitational measurement

Position-deformed Heisenberg algebra with maximal length uncertainty has recently been proven to induce strong quantum gravitational fields at the Planck scale (2022 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor.55 105303). In the present study, we use the position space representation on the one hand and the Fourier transform and its inverse representations on the other to construct propagators of path integrals within this deformed algebra. The propagators and the corresponding actions of a free particle and a simple harmonic oscillator are discussed as examples. Since the effects of quantum gravity are strong in this Euclidean space, we show that the actions which describe the classical trajectories of both systems are bounded by the ordinary ones of classical mechanics. This indicates that quantum gravity bends the paths of particles, allowing them to travel quickly from one point to another. It is numerically observed by the decrease in values of classical actions as one increases the quantum gravitational effects.

Minimal and maximal lengths of quantum gravity from non-Hermitian position-dependent noncommutativity

A minimum length scale of the order of Planck length is a feature of many models of quantum gravity that seek to unify quantum mechanics and gravitation. Recently, Perivolaropoulos in his seminal work [Phys. Rev.D 95, 103523 (2017)] predicted the simultaneous existence of minimal and maximal length measurements of quantum gravity. More recently, we have shown that both measurable lengths can be obtained from position-dependent noncommutativity [J. Phys. A: Math.Theor. 53, 115303 (2020)]. In this paper, we present an alternative derivation of these lengths from non-Hermitian position-dependent noncommutativity. We show that a simultaneous measurement of both lengths form a family of discrete spaces. In one hand, we show the similarities between the maximal uncertainty measurement and the classical properties of gravity. On the other hand, the connection between the minimal uncertainties and the non-Hermicity quantum mechanic scenarios. The existence of minimal uncertainties are the consequences of non-Hermicities of some operators that are generators of this noncommutativity. With an appropriate Dyson map, we demonstrate by a similarity transformation that the physically meaningfulness of dynamical quantum systems is generated by a hidden Hermitian position-dependent noncommutativity. This transformation preserves the properties of quantum gravity but removes the fuzziness induced by minimal uncertainty measurements at this scale. Finally, we study the eigenvalue problem of a free particle in a square-well potential in these new Hermitian variables.

Invariant differential operators and the generalized symmetric group

In this paper we study the decomposition of the direct image of $π_+(\Oc_{X})$ the polynomial ring $\Oc_X$ as a $\D$-module, under the map $π: \spec \Oc_{X} \to \spec \Oc_{X}^{G(r,n)}$, where $\Oc_{X}^{G(r,n)}$ is the ring of invariant polynomial under the action of the wreath product $G(r,p):= \ZZ / r \ZZ \wr \Sc_n $. We first describe the generators of the simple components of $π_+(\Oc_X)$ and give their multiplicities. Using an equivalence of categories and the higher Specht polynomials, we describe a $\D$-module decomposition of the polynomial ring localized at the discriminant of $π$. Furthermore, we study the action invariants, differential operators, on the higher Specht polynomials.

Hilbert space representation of maximal length and minimal momentum uncertainties

Perivolaropoulos has recently proposed a position-deformed Heisenberg algebra which includes a maximal length [Phys.Rev.95, 103523 (2017)]. He has shown that this length scale naturally emerges in the context of cosmological particle's horizon or cosmic topology. Following this work, we propose a new deformed algebra and derive the maximal length uncertainty and its corresponding minimal momentum uncertainty from the generalized uncertainty principle. We also construct the corresponding Fourier transform and its inverse representations. Finally, we propose n-dimensional representation of this algebra

Differential operators and reflection group of type $B_n$

In this note, we study the polynomial representation of the quantum Olshanetsky-Perelomov system for a finite reflection group $W$ of type $B_n$. We endow the polynomial ring ${\mathbb C} [x_1,\ldots\\\ldots, x_n]$ with a structure of module over the Weyl algebra associated with the ring ${\mathbb C} [x_1,\ldots,x_n]^{W}$ of invariant polynomials under a reflections group $W$ of type $B_n$. Then we study the polynomial representation of the ring of invariant differential operators under the reflections group $W$. We use the group representation theory namely the higher Specht polynomials associated with the reflection group $W$ and establish a decomposition of that structure by providing explicitly the generators of the simple components.

Minimal and maximal lengths from position-dependent noncommutativity

Fring and al in their paper entitled "Strings from position-dependent noncommutativity" have introduced a new set of noncommutative space commutation relations in two space dimensions. It had been shown that any fundamental objects introduced in this space-space non-commutativity are string-like. Taking this result into account, we generalize the seminal work of Fring and al to the case that there is also a maximal length from position-dependent noncommutativity and minimal momentum arising from generalized versions of Heisenberg's uncertainty relations. The existence of maximal length is related to the presence of an extra, first order term in particle's length that provides the basic difference of our analysis with theirs. This maximal length breaks up the well known singularity problem of space time. We establish different representations of this noncommutative space and finally we study some basic and interesting quantum mechanical systems in these new variables.

Lewis-Riesenfeld quantization and SU(1,1) coherent states for 2D damped harmonic oscillator

In this paper we study a two-dimensional [2D] rotationally symmetric harmonic oscillator with time-dependent frictional force. At the classical level, we solve the equations of motion for a particular case of the time-dependent coefficient of friction. At the quantum level, we use the Lewis-Riesenfeld procedure of invariants to construct exact solutions for the corresponding time-dependent Schrödinger equations. The eigenfunctions obtained are in terms of the generalized Laguerre polynomials. By mean of the solutions we verify a generalization version of the Heisenberg's uncertainty relation and derive the generators of the $su(1,1)$ Lie algebra. Based on these generators, we construct the coherent states $\grave{\textrm{a}}$ la Barut-Girardello and $\grave{\textrm{a}}$ la Perelomov and respectively study their properties.
