Abstract

% Doubly Special Relativity (DSR) introduces, besides the invariant speed of light cc, an observer-independent high-energy % scale that deforms relativistic kinematics and can be implemented through modified dispersion relations or effective % wave equations with energy-dependent spatial operators. In this work we develop a three-dimensional, exactly solvable % benchmark for such deformations in the spin-12\tfrac12 sector: the Dirac oscillator. Following the original % construction of Moshinsky and Szczepaniak, the oscillator is introduced through a linear non-minimal momentum coupling, % which preserves Hermiticity and yields, after decoupling the Dirac equation into large and small components, a % three-dimensional isotropic harmonic-oscillator operator supplemented by a strong spin--orbit term. % We then incorporate Planck-scale deformations in two standard DSR realizations (Amelino--Camelia and % Magueijo--Smolin, characterized by an invariant energy scale kk) and in a generalized DSR framework based on a % first-order expansion in the Planck length lpl_p. In all cases the bound-state eigenfunctions retain the % oscillator-spinor structure dictated by spherical symmetry, while DSR deforms the algebraic relation between quantum % numbers (N,j,)(N,j,\ell) and the relativistic energy, producing branch-dependent shifts for both particle and antiparticle % solutions. The undeformed limit (kk\to\infty or lp0l_p\to0) is recovered smoothly and the deformation signal increases % with excitation through the oscillator scale and spin--orbit splitting.
