Abstract

The -dimensional -two-parameter deformed algebra introduced by Kempf is generalized to a Lorentz-covariant algebra describing a ()-dimensional quantized space-time. In the D=3 and case, the latter reproduces Snyder algebra. The deformed Poincaré transformations leaving the algebra invariant are identified. It is shown that there exists a nonzero minimal uncertainty in position (minimal length). The Dirac oscillator in a 1+1-dimensional space-time described by such an algebra is studied in the case where . Extending supersymmetric quantum mechanical and shape-invariance methods to energy-dependent Hamiltonians provides exact bound-state energies and wavefunctions. Physically acceptable states exist for . A new interesting outcome is that, in contrast with the conventional Dirac oscillator, the energy spectrum is bounded.
