Composite system in deformed space with minimal length
نویسنده
چکیده
For composite systems made of N different particles living in a space characterized by the same deformed Heisenberg algebra, but with different deformation parameters, we define the total momentum and the center-of-mass position to first order in the deformation parameters. Such operators satisfy the deformed algebra with new effective deformation parameters. As a consequence, a two-particle system can be reduced to a one-particle problem for the internal motion. As an example, the correction to the hydrogen atom nS energy levels is re-evaluated. Comparison with high-precision experimental data leads to an upper bound of the minimal length for the electron equal to 3.3 × 10m. The effective Hamiltonian describing the center-of-mass motion of a macroscopic body in an external potential is also found. For such a motion, the effective deformation parameter is substantially reduced due to a factor 1/N. This explains the strangely small result previously obtained for the minimal length from a comparison with the observed precession of the perihelion of Mercury. From our study, an upper bound of the minimal length for quarks equal to 2.4× 10m is deduced, which appears close to that obtained for electrons. PACS numbers: 03.65.-w, 02.40.Gh, 45.50.-j

Lorentz - covariant deformed algebra with minimal length
The D-dimensional two-parameter deformed algebra with minimal length introduced by Kempf is generalized to a Lorentz-covariant algebra describing a (D + 1)dimensional quantized space-time. For D = 3, it includes Snyder algebra as a special case. The deformed Poincaré transformations leaving the algebra invariant are identified. Uncertainty relations are studied. In the case of D = 1 and one non...

Our aim in this paper is to find the observable effects of the generalized commutators. For this purpose we investigate two problems in quantum mechanics with minimal length procedure. Firstly, we study hydrogen atom energy levels via minimal length uncertainty relation algebra. From comparing our results, with experimental data we estimate an upper limit for minimal length. Secondly, we inve...

The D-dimensional (β, β ′)-two-parameter deformed algebra introduced by Kempf is generalized to a Lorentz-covariant algebra describing a D +1-dimensional quantized space-time. In the D = 3 and β = 0 case, the latter reproduces Snyder algebra. The deformed Poincaré transformations leaving the algebra invariant are identified. It is shown that there exists a nonzero minimal uncertainty in positio...

We investigate the Lorentz-covariant deformed algebra for Dirac oscillator problem, which is a generalization of Kempf deformed algebra in 3 + 1 dimension of space-time, where Lorentz symmetry are preserved. The energy spectrum of the system is analyzed by taking advantage of the corresponding wave functions with explicit spin state. We obtained entirely new results from our development based o...
متن کاملCosmology with minimal length uncertainty relations
We study the effects of the existence of a minimal observable length in the phase space of classical and quantum de Sitter (dS) and Anti de Sitter (AdS) cosmology. Since this length has been suggested in quantum gravity and string theory, its effects in the early universe might be expected. Adopting the existence of such a minimum length results in the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP), w...
