Statistical physics in deformed spaces with minimal length Taras Fityo Department for Theoretical Physics, National University of Lviv Outline • • • • • Deformed algebras The problem Implications of minimal length An example Conclusions Deformed algebras Coordinate uncertainty: X X min Kempf proposed to deform commutator: Maggiore: Maggiore M., A generalized uncertainty principle in quantum gravity, Phys. Lett. B. 304, 65 (1993). Kempf A. Uncertainty relation in quantum mechanics with quantum group symmetry, J. Math. Phys. 35 4483 (1994). The problem Statistical properties are determined by En Z exp T n Classical approximation H ( p, x ) Z dpdx exp T x, p are canonically conjugated variables. General form of deformed algebra X i , Pj i fij ( X , P) X i , X j i gij ( X , P) Pi , Pj i hij ( X , P) X , P f ( X , P) X , X g ( X , P) P , P h ( X , P) i j i i ij j j ij ij It is always possible to find such canonical x, p variables, that X i X i ( x, p), Pi Pi ( x, p) satisfy deformed Poisson brackets.

P D n P For large P kinetic energy behaves as 1/ 2m, n 2 Schrödinger Hamiltonian: For high temperatures Z const Z const ln T Kinetic energy does not contribute to the heat capacity. Minimal length “freezes” translation degrees of freedom completely.

It was shown that minimal length decreased heat capacity in the limit of high temperatures significantly. Dziękuję za uwagę! Thanks for attention! T.V.
