The aim of this paper is to introduce the heat semigroups \(\left( {\mathcal {S}}_{\nu }^{{\textbf{m}}^{-1}}(t)\right) _{t\ge 0}\) related to \(\Delta _{\nu }^{{\textbf{m}}^{-1}}\) given by \(\begin{aligned} \Delta _{\nu }^{{\textbf{m}}^{-1}}=\frac{d^{2}}{dx^{2}}+\left( \frac{2\nu +1}{x}+2i\frac{a}{b} x\right) \frac{d}{dx}-\left( \frac{a^{2}}{b^{2}}x^{2}-2i\left( \nu +1\right) \frac{a}{b}\right) \end{aligned}\) and we study some of its important properties. In the present paper, several uncertainty principles for the canonical Fourier–Bessel transform are given, including the Beurling, Gelfand–Shilov and Cowling–Price uncertainty principles.
