Abstract

We present the quantum and classical mechanics formalisms for a particle with position-dependent mass in the context of a deformed algebraic structure (named κ\kappa-algebra), motivated by the Kappa-statistics. From this structure we obtain deformed versions of the position and momentum operators, which allow to define a point canonical transformation that maps a particle with constant mass in a deformed space into a particle with position-dependent mass in the standard space. We illustrate the formalism with a particle confined in an infinite potential well and the Mathews-Lakshmanan oscillator, exhibiting uncertainty relations depending on the deformation.
