Noncommutative phase-space Lotka-Volterra dynamics: The quantum analog

Distorted stability pattern and chaotic features for quantized prey-predator-like dynamics

Nonequilibrium and instability features of prey-predator-like systems associated to topological quantum domains emerging from a quantum phase-space description are investigated in the framework of the Weyl-Wigner quantum mechanics. Reporting about the generalized Wigner flow for one-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, H(x,k), constrained by ∂^{2}H/∂x∂k=0, the prey-predator dynamics driven by Lotka-Volterra (LV) equations is mapped onto the Heisenberg-Weyl noncommutative algebra, [x,k]=i, where the canonical variables x and k are related to the two-dimensional LV parameters, y=e^{-x} and z=e^{-k}. From the non-Liouvillian pattern driven by the associated Wigner currents, hyperbolic equilibrium and stability parameters for the prey-predator-like dynamics are then shown to be affected by quantum distortions over the classical background, in correspondence with nonstationarity and non-Liouvillianity properties quantified in terms of Wigner currents and Gaussian ensemble parameters. As an extension, considering the hypothesis of discretizing the time parameter, nonhyperbolic bifurcation regimes are identified and quantified in terms of z-y anisotropy and Gaussian parameters. The bifurcation diagrams exhibit, for quantum regimes, chaotic patterns highly dependent on Gaussian localization. Besides exemplifying a broad range of applications of the generalized Wigner information flow framework, our results extend, from the continuous (hyperbolic regime) to discrete (chaotic regime) domains, the procedure for quantifying the influence of quantum fluctuations over equilibrium and stability scenarios of LV driven systems.

Klein-Gordon Theory in Noncommutative Phase Space

We extend the three-dimensional noncommutative relations of the position and momentum operators to those in the four dimension. Using the Seiberg-Witten (SW) map, we give the Heisenberg representation of these noncommutative algebras and endow the noncommutative parameters associated with the Planck constant, Planck length and cosmological constant. As an analog with the electromagnetic gauge potential, the noncommutative effect can be interpreted as an effective gauge field, which depends on the Plank constant and cosmological constant. Based on these noncommutative relations, we give the Klein-Gordon (KG) equation and its corresponding current continuity equation in the noncommutative phase space including the canonical and Hamiltonian forms and their novel properties beyond the conventional KG equation. We analyze the symmetries of the KG equations and some observables such as velocity and force of free particles in the noncommutative phase space. We give the perturbation solution of the KG equation.
