Canonical commutation relation preserving maps

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We study maps preserving the Heisenberg commutation relation abba=1. We find a one-parameter deformation of the standard realization of the above algebra in terms of a coordinate and its dual derivative. It involves a non-local ``coordinate operator while the dual ``derivative is just the Jackson finite-difference operator. Substitution of this realization into any differential operator involving x and fracddx, results in an {em isospectral} deformation of a continuous differential operator into a finite-difference one. We extend our results to the deformed Heisenberg algebra abqba=1. As an example of potential applications, various deformations of the Hahn polynomials are briefly discussed.
