We discuss the q-deformation of Weyl-Heisenberg algebra in connection with the von Neumann theorem in quantum mechanics. We show that the q-deformation parameter labels the Weyl systems in quantum mechanics and the unitarily inequivalent representations of the canonical commutation relations in quantum field theory.
We discuss the q deformation of Weyl-Heisenberg algebra in connection with the von Neumann theorem in Quantum Mechanics. We show that the q-deformation parameter labels the Weyl systems in Quantum Mechanics and the unitarily inequivalent representations of the canonical commutation relations in Quantum Field Theory. The von Neumann theorem in Quantum Mechanics (QM) states that for systems with finite number of degrees of freedom the representations of the canonical commutation relations (ccr), also called the Weyl representations, are each other unitarily equivalent. In the limit of infinite number of degrees of freedom, namely in Quantum Field Theory
On a one-dimensional lattice with a geometric sequence spacing, the Hermitian conjugation of a (p,q)-derivative operator is discussed by means of (p,q)-integration. Then a (p,q)-deformation of both the Heisenberg algebra for the canonical coordinates and the Heisenberg–Weyl algebra for the harmonic oscillator is presented. It is shown that although in the algebraic aspect the (p,q)-deformation discussed here is identical with q-deformation given by Truong, the (p,q)-deformed Schrodinger picture is in fact different from the q-deformed one.
