When minimal length uncertainty emerging from generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) is thoughtfully implemented, it is of great interest to consider its impacts on {it gravitational} Einstein field equations (gEFE) and to try to find out whether consequential modifications in metric manifesting properties of quantum geometry due to quantum gravity. GUP takes into account the gravitational impacts on the noncommutation relations of length (distance) and momentum operators or time and energy operators, etc. On the other hand, gEFE relates {it classical geometry or general relativity gravity} to the energy-momentum tensors, i.e. proposing quantum equations of state. Despite the technical difficulties, we confront GUP to the metric tensor so that the line element and the geodesic equation in flat and curved space are accordingly modified. The latter apparently encompasses acceleration, jerk, and snap (jounce) of a particle in the {it quasi-quantized} gravitational field. Finite higher-orders of acceleration apparently manifest phenomena such as accelerating expansion and transitions between different radii of curvature, etc.

The Jacobi equation for geodesic deviation describes finite size effects due to the gravitational tidal forces. In this paper we show how one can integrate the Jacobi equation in any spacetime admitting completely integrable geodesics. Namely, by linearizing the geodesic equation and its conserved charges, we arrive at the invariant Wronskians for the Jacobi system that are linear in the `deviation momenta and thus yield a system of first-order differential equations that can be integrated. The procedure is illustrated on an example of a rotating black hole spacetime described by the Kerr geometry and its higher-dimensional generalizations. A number of related topics, including the phase space formulation of the theory and the derivation of the covariant Hamiltonian for the Jacobi system are also discussed.
We compute the spectrum of scalar models with a general coupling to the scalar curvature. We find that the perturbative states of these theories are given by two massive spin-0 modes in addition to one massless spin-2 state. This latter mode can be identified with the standard graviton field. Indeed, we are able to define an Einstein frame, where the dynamics of the massless spin-2 graviton is the one associated with the Einstein-Hilbert action. We also explore the interactions of all these degrees of freedom in the mentioned frame, since part of the coupling structure can be anticipated by geometrical arguments.
We endow the set of probability measures on a weighted graph with a Monge--Kantorovich metric, induced by a function defined on the set of vertices. The graph is assumed to have $n$ vertices and so, the boundary of the probability simplex is an affine $(n-2)$--chain. Characterizing the geodesics of minimal length which may intersect the boundary, is a challenge we overcome even when the endpoints of the geodesics dont share the same connected components. It is our hope that this work would be a preamble to the theory of Mean Field Games on graphs.
The possibility of a minimal physical length in quantum gravity is discussed within the asymptotic safety approach. Using a specific mathematical model for length measurements (COM microscope) it is shown that the spacetimes of Quantum Einstein Gravity (QEG) based upon a special class of renormalization group trajectories are fuzzy in the sense that there is a minimal coordinate separation below which two points cannot be resolved.
We analytically derive the covariant form of the Riemann (curvature) tensor for homogeneous Metric-Affine Cosmologies. That is, we present, in a Cosmological setting, the most general covariant form of the full Riemann tensor including also its non-Riemannian pieces which are associated to spacetime torsion and non-metricity. Having done so we also compute a list of the curvature tensor by-products such as Ricci tensor, homothetic curvature, Ricci scalar, Einstein tensor etc. Finally we derive the generalized Metric-Affine version of the usual Gauss-Bonnet density in this background and demonstrate how under certain circumstances the latter represents a total derivative term.
