The Deformed Dirac Oscillator in Linear-Fractional Doubly Special Relativity

Abstract We study the (1 + 1)-dimensional Dirac oscillator within a class of doubly special relativity (DSR) models generated by linear-fractional (projective) transformations on momentum space that preserve both the invariant speed of light and a high-energy observer-independent scale Ep. Starting from the associated deformed Casimir invariants, we construct the coordinate-space Dirac equations for three inequivalent choices of the deformation vector (time-like, space-like, and light-like). For the space-like and light-like realizations the deformation induces momentum-dependent effective mass operators, which makes the coordinate-space formulation sensitive to operator ordering. To retain locality and obtain solvable second-order equations we adopt a reverted-product ordering prescription. We show that the residual ordering freedom is controlled by a single c-number commutator and can therefore be parametrized by one real number λ; the operator it generates in the decoupled equation is a pure annihilation operator, so that the spectrum is exactly independent of λ at order 1/Ep and the ordering dependence first appears at order $1/E_{\mathrm{p}}^{2}$, where it is further suppressed by one power of ω/m. Closed-form relativistic energy spectra and eigenfunctions are obtained in all three geometries, and the standard Dirac-oscillator results are recovered smoothly in the limit Ep → ∞. Finally, we derive the nonrelativistic expansion of the positive-energy branch and show that the deformation geometry controls the leading rest-energy shift and the renormalization of the oscillator level spacing.
