Klein--Gordon oscillator with linear--fractional deformed Casimirs in doubly special relativity
Abstract
We study the Klein--Gordon (KG) oscillator in a doubly special relativity (DSR) framework, where the mass-shell condition is deformed through a linear--fractional (M\"obius-type) modification of the Casimir invariant. This is induced by a nonlinear map from physical momenta to auxiliary Lorentz-covariant variables . In dimensions, the deformation is controlled by a constant covector , yielding inequivalent realizations depending on whether is timelike, spacelike, or lightlike. Implementing the KG oscillator via a reverted-product nonminimal coupling, we obtain exact closed-form spectra and explicit eigensolutions for both particle and antiparticle branches across all three geometries. Timelike and lightlike deformations produce identical spectra characterized by a Planck-suppressed additive displacement. This breaks the exact symmetry via a term linear in , interpretable as a branch-independent reparametrization of the energy origin. Conversely, the spacelike deformation is strictly isospectral to the undeformed oscillator but generates complex-shifted wavefunctions and a non-Hermitian spatial operator. We provide a compact -symmetric and pseudo-Hermitian formulation by constructing an explicit similarity map to a Hermitian oscillator, deriving the metric operator , and establishing biorthonormal relations. Finally, we compare quantitatively with the Magueijo--Smolin (DSR2) model: the squared-denominator invariant leads to a larger Planck-suppressed displacement at fixed , highlighting the denominator power's role in controlling spectral shifts. Representative plots illustrate the dependence on deformation ratio, oscillator strength, and excitation level.
