Uncertainty Relations on Homogeneous Groups

Abstract

In this chapter we discuss relations between main operators of quantum mechanics, that is, relations between momentum and position operators as well as Euler and Coulomb potential operators on homogeneous groups as well as their consequences. Since in most uncertainty relations and in these operators the appearing weights are radially symmetric, it turns out that these relations can be extended to also hold on general homogeneous groups. In particular, we obtain both isotropic and anisotropic uncertainty principles in a refined form, where the radial derivative operators are used instead of the elliptic or hypoelliptic differential operators.
