Abstract We investigate the effective Dirac equation, corrected by merging two scenarios that are expected to emerge towards the quantum gravity scale. Namely, the existence of a minimal length, implemented by the generalized uncertainty principle, and exotic spinors, associated with any non-trivial topology equipping the spacetime manifold. We show that the free fermionic dynamical equations, within the context of a minimal length, just allow for trivial solutions, a feature that is not shared by dynamical equations for exotic spinors. In fact, in this coalescing setup, the exoticity is shown to prevent the Dirac operator to be injective, allowing the existence of non-trivial solutions.

We analyze a modified Dirac equation based on a noncommutative structure in phase space originating from a generalized uncertainty principle with a minimum length. The noncommutative structure induces generalized momenta and contributions to the energy levels of the standard Dirac equation. Applying techniques of perturbation theory, we find the lowest-order corrections to the energy levels and eigenfunctions of the Dirac equation in three dimensions for a spherically symmetric linear potential and for a square-well times triangular potential along one spatial dimension. We find that the corrections due to the noncommutative contributions may be of the same order as the relativistic ones, leading to an upper bound on the parameter fixing the minimum length induced by the generalized uncertainty principle.

AbstractQuantum gravitational effects may affect the large scale dynamics of the universe. Phenomenologically, quantum gravitational effect at large distances can be encoded in an extended uncertainty principle that admits a minimal measurable momentum/energy or a maximal length. This maximal length can be considered as the size of the cosmological horizon today. In this paper we study thermostatistics of an expanding universe as a gaseous system and in the presence of an invariant infrared cutoff. We also compare the thermostatistics of different eras of the evolution of the universe in two classes, Fermions and Bosons.

ABSTRACT The generalized and extended uncertainty principles affect the Newtonian gravity and also the geometry of the thermodynamic phase space. Under the influence of the latter, the energy–temperature relation of ideal gas may change. Moreover, it seems that the Newtonian gravity is modified in the framework of the Rényi entropy formalism motivated by both the long-range nature of gravity and the extended uncertainty principle. Here, the consequences of employing the generalized and extended uncertainty principles, instead of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, on the Jeans mass are studied. The results of working in the Rényi entropy formalism are also addressed. It is shown that unlike the extended uncertainty principle and the Rényi entropy formalism that lead to the same increase in the Jeans mass, the generalized uncertainty principle can decrease it. The latter means that a cloud with mass smaller than the standard Jeans mass, obtained in the framework of the Newtonian gravity, may also undergo the gravitational collapse process.
