Uncertainty principle on 3-dimensional manifolds of constant curvature
Abstract
We consider the Heisenberg uncertainty principle of position and momentum in 3-dimensional spaces of constant curvature . The uncertainty of position is defined coordinate independent by the geodesic radius of spherical domains in which the particle is localized after a von Neumann-L\"uders projection. By applying mathematical standard results from spectral analysis on manifolds, we obtain the largest lower bound of the momentum deviation in terms of the geodesic radius and . For hyperbolic spaces, we also obtain a global lower bound , which is non-zero and independent of the uncertainty in position. Finally, the lower bound for the Schwarzschild radius of a static black hole is derived and given by , where is the Planck length.
