Towards quantum mechanics on the curved cotangent bundle

Abstract: The minimum length paradigm, a cornerstone of quantum gravity phenomenology, and quantum theories on nontrivial momentum space have recently been brought into explicit correspondence. However, owing to the fact that coordinate transformations introduce additional position-dependence to the otherwise solely momentum-dependent metric, there is no fully consistent formulation of these theories beyond Cartesian coordinates and, in particular, no position representation. This paper is intended to take the first steps in bridging this gap by promoting the measure of the Hilbert space scalar product to an operator and merging it, by analogy with geometric quantization, with the wave functions. Correspondingly, we find a natural action of the position and momentum operators on the resulting wave densities in the position representation, as well as the free particle Hamiltonian and the geodesic distance. These reduce to their counterparts in deWitt's approach to quantum mechanics on curved spaces in the corresponding circumstances. We apply the formalism perturbatively, i.e. in a Riemann normal coordinate-like expansion with curvature in position and momentum space simultaneously, to the isotropic harmonic oscillator and the hydrogenic atom. Interestingly, observing the former it is impossible to distinguish position- from momentum space-curvature. Thus, we obtain a true instantiation of Born reciprocity on the curved cotangent bundle, which manifests itself as a symmetry reminiscent of T-duality in string theory. In particular, the relative corrections induced by the curvatures in both spaces are dual at low and high energies.
