Non-Commutative space-time and Hausdorff dimension
Abstract
We study the Hausdorff dimension of the path of a quantum particle in non-commutative space-time. We show that the Hausdorff dimension depends on the deformation parameter and the resolution for both non-relativistic and relativistic quantum particle. For the non-relativistic case, it is seen that Hausdorff dimension is always less than two in the non-commutative space-time. For relativistic quantum particle, we find the Hausdorff dimension increases with the non-commutative parameter, in contrast to the commutative space-time. We show that non-commutative correction to Dirac equation brings in the spinorial nature of the relativistic wave function into play, unlike in the commutative space-time. By imposing self-similarity condition on the path of non-relativistic and relativistic quantum particle in non-commutative space-time, we derive the corresponding generalised uncertainty relation.
