The Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) has been directly applied to the motion of (macroscopic) test bodies on a given space-time in order to compute corrections to the classical orbits predicted in Newtonian Mechanics or General Relativity. These corrections generically violate the Equivalence Principle. The GUP has also been indirectly applied to the gravitational source by relating the GUP modified Hawking temperature to a deformation of the background metric. Such a deformed background metric determines new geodesic motions without violating the Equivalence Principle. We point out here that the two effects are mutually exclusive when compared with experimental bounds. Moreover, the former stems from modified Poisson brackets obtained from a wrong classical limit of the deformed canonical commutators.
We present a formalism which allows for the perturbative derivation of the Extended Uncertainty Principle (EUP) for arbitrary spatial curvature models and observers. Entering the realm of small position uncertainties, we derive a general asymptotic EUP. The leading 2nd order curvature induced correction is proportional to the Ricci scalar, while the 4th order correction features the 0th order Cartan invariant Psi^2 (a scalar quadratic in curvature tensors) and the curved space Laplacian of the Ricci scalar all of which are evaluated at the expectation value of the position operator, i.e. the expected position when performing a measurement. This result is first verified for previously derived homogeneous space models and then applied to other non-trivial curvature related effects such as inhomogeneities, rotation and an anisotropic stress fluid leading to black hole hair. Our main achievement combines the method we introduce with the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) by virtue of deformed commutators to formulate a generic form of what we call the Asymptotic Generalized Extended Uncertainty Principle (AGEUP).
The Generalized Uncertainty Principle and the related minimum length are normally considered in non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics. Extending it to relativistic theories is important for having a Lorentz invariant minimum length and for testing the modified Heisenberg principle at high energies.In this paper, we formulate a relativistic Generalized Uncertainty Principle. We then use this to write the modified Klein-Gordon, Schrodinger and Dirac equations, and compute quantum gravity corrections to the relativistic hydrogen atom, particle in a box, and the linear harmonic oscillator.
This paper studies the nature of fractional linear transformations in a general relativity context as well as in a quantum theoretical framework. Two features are found to deserve special attention: the first is the possibility of separating the limit-point condition at infinity into loxodromic, hyperbolic, parabolic and elliptic cases. This is useful in a context in which one wants to look for a correspondence between essentially self-adjoint spherically symmetric Hamiltonians of quantum physics and the theory of Bondi-Metzner-Sachs transformations in general relativity. The analogy therefore arising, suggests that further investigations might be performed for a theory in which the role of fractional linear maps is viewed as a bridge between the quantum theory and general relativity. The second aspect to point out is the possibility of interpreting the limit-point condition at both ends of the positive real line, for a second-order singular differential operator, which occurs frequently in applied quantum mechanics, as the limiting procedure arising from a very particular Kleinian group which is the hyperbolic cyclic group. In this framework, this work finds that a consistent system of equations can be derived and studied. Hence one is led to consider the entire transcendental functions, from which it is possible to construct a fundamental system of solutions of a second-order differential equation with singular behavior at both ends of the positive real line, which in turn satisfy the limit-point conditions.
We first give a way which satisfies the bidirectional derivation between the generalized uncertainty principle and the corrected entropy of black holes. By this way, the generalized uncertainty principle can be indirectly modified by some correction elements which are carrried by the corrected entropy. Then we put an entropy modified by quantum tunneling into the way, from which we get a new generalized uncertainty principle, and finally find the new one has a broader form and a stronger adaptability to the sign of parameter.
We study Quantum Gravity effects in cosmology, and in particular that of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle on the Friedmann equations. We show that the Generalized Uncertainty Principle induces variations of the energy density and pressure in the radiation-dominated era which provide a viable explanation for the observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe.
