Position deformation of a Heisenberg algebra and Hilbert space representation of both maximal length and minimal momentum uncertainties may lead to loss of Hermiticity of some operators that generate this algebra. Consequently, the Hamiltonian operator constructed from these operators is also not Hermitian. In this paper, with an appropriate positive-definite Dyson map, we establish the Hermiticity of these operators by means of a similarity transformation. We then construct Hilbert space representations associated with these Hermitian operators that generate a Hermitian Heisenberg algebra. With the help of these representations, we establish the path integral formulation of any systems in this Hermitian algebra. Finally, using the path integral of a free particle as an example, we demonstrate that the Euclidean propagator, action, and kinetic energy of this system are constrained by the standard classical mechanics limits.

A deformation of Heisenberg algebra induces among other consequences a loss of Hermiticity of some operators that generate this algebra. Therefore, these operators are not Hermitian, nor is the Hamiltonian operator built from them. In the present paper, we propose a position deformation of Heisenberg algebra with both maximal length and minimal momentum uncertainties. By using a pseudo-similarity transformation to the non-Hermitian operators, we prove their Hermiticity with a suitable positive-definite pseudo-metric operator. We then construct Hilbert space representations associated with these pseudo-Hermitian operators. Finally, we study the eigenvalue problem of a free particle in this deformed space and we show that this deformation curved the quantum levels allowing particles to jump from one state to another with low energy transitions.

We present an algebra of deformed Heisenberg-type [^ x; p ^] = i~f(^ x) arising from a rede nition of the translation operator. We point out that the Hilbert space should be used for the representation of the algebra in question and show the explicit form of the position and momentum operators in this space, in addition, we also write the equations that governs the time evolution of quantum systems (the Schrödinger equation) and use it to solve a traditional problem in the usual quantum mechanics: the harmonic oscillator immersed in a uniform electric eld . It should also point out that we used an unusual method to the solution of the harmonic oscillator, the method of the Laplace transform.
