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 pμp^\mu to auxiliary Lorentz-covariant variables πμ\pi^\mu. In (1+1)(1+1) dimensions, the deformation is controlled by a constant covector aμa_\mu, yielding inequivalent realizations depending on whether aμa_\mu 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 EEE\leftrightarrow -E symmetry via a term linear in EE, 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 PT\mathcal{PT}-symmetric and pseudo-Hermitian formulation by constructing an explicit similarity map S\mathcal{S} to a Hermitian oscillator, deriving the metric operator η=SS\eta=\mathcal{S}^\dagger \mathcal{S}, 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 m/EPlm/E_{Pl}, highlighting the denominator power's role in controlling spectral shifts. Representative plots illustrate the dependence on deformation ratio, oscillator strength, and excitation level.
