In the D=3 and $\\beta=0$ case, the latter reproduces Snyder algebra. The deformed Poincar\\'e transformations leaving the algebra invariant are identified. It is shown that there exists a nonzero minimal uncertainty in position (minimal length). The Dirac oscillator in a 1+1-dimensional space-time described by such an algebra is studied in the case where $\\beta'=0$. Extending supersymmetric quantum mechanical and shape-invariance methods to energy-dependent Hamiltonians provides exact bound-state energies and wavefunctions. Physically acceptable states exist for $\\beta < 1/(m^2 c^2)$. A new interesting outcome is that, in contrast with the conventional Dirac oscillator, the energy spectrum is bounded.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-08-09T11:59:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11.30.Cp", "03.65.Fd", "03.65.Pm", "03.65.Ge", "11.30.Pb" ], "keywords": [ "lorentz-covariant deformed algebra", "minimal length", "application", "exact bound-state energies", "nonzero minimal uncertainty" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 714930 } } }
