Abstract
In this work, some of the present scenarios for the generalized uncertainty principle are reviewed and it is shown that all of them could be derived through a unified approach that guarantees the existence of both, minimal measurable length and maximal available momentum. Then, a new proposal is introduced that compensates for the defects of previous models. We also studied the effects of this modification on the energy levels and the wave function of a simple harmonic oscillator. It is shown that for the case of a harmonic oscillator, generalized uncertainty relation results in an uncertainty relation between the frequency and the mass of the oscillator.
期刊介绍:
Reports on Mathematical Physics publish papers in theoretical physics which present a rigorous mathematical approach to problems of quantum and classical mechanics and field theories, relativity and gravitation, statistical physics, thermodynamics, mathematical foundations of physical theories, etc. Preferred are papers using modern methods of functional analysis, probability theory, differential geometry, algebra and mathematical logic. Papers without direct connection with physics will not be accepted. Manuscripts should be concise, but possibly complete in presentation and discussion, to be comprehensible not only for mathematicians, but also for mathematically oriented theoretical physicists. All papers should describe original work and be written in English.
