Applications of the extended uncertainty principle in AdS and dS spaces

Abstract

All commutation relations are modified in (anti)-de Sitter background and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is changed to the so-called extended uncertainty principle (EUP). In this scenario, the commutators between position and momentum operators are functions of the position space variables, instead of a constant and the coordinate representation of the momentum operators for this model becomes coordinate dependent. In the AdS space, a lower bound on momentum uncertainty arises, which is not present in the dS space. In this paper, we present an exact solution of the D -dimensional free particle, the harmonic oscillator and pseudoharmonic oscillator in AdS and dS spaces. The eigenfunctions are determined for both cases and the energy eigenvalues are obtained.
