AbstractThe Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) naturally emerges in several quantum gravity models, predicting the existence of a minimal length at Planck scale. Here, we consider the quadratic GUP as a semiclassical approach to thermodynamic gravity and constrain the deformation parameter by using observational bounds from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and primordial abundances of the light elements $${}^4 He, D, {}^7 Li$$ 4 H e , D , 7 L i . We show that our result fits with most of existing bounds on $$\beta $$ β derived from other cosmological studies.

The statistical entropy of the FRW universe described by time-dependent metric is newly calculated using the brick wall method based on the general uncertainty principle with the minimal length. We can determine the minimal length with the Planck scale to obtain the entropy proportional to the area of the cosmological apparent horizon.

Abstract More recently in J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 53, 115303 (2020), we have introduced a set of noncommutative algebra that describes the space-time at the Planck scale. The interesting significant result we found is that the generalized uncertainty principle induced a maximal length of quantum gravity which has different physical implications to the one of generalized uncertainty principle with minimal length. The emergence of a maximal length in this theory revealed strong quantum gravitational effects at this scale and predicted the detection of gravity particles with low energies. To make evidence of these predictions, we study the dynamics of a free particle confined in an infinite square well potential in one dimension of this space. Since the effects of quantum gravity are strong in this space, we show that the energy spectrum of this system is weakly proportional to the ordinary one of quantum mechanics free of the theory of gravity. The states of this particle exhibit proprieties similar to the standard coherent states which are consequences of quantum fluctuation at this scale. Then, with the spectrum of this system at hand, we analyze the thermodynamic quantities within the canonical and micro-canonical ensembles of an ideal gas made up of N indistinguishable particles at the Planck scale. The results show a complete consistency between both statistical descriptions. Furthermore, a comparison with the results obtained in the context of minimal length scenarios and black hole theories indicates that the maximal length in this theory induces logarithmic corrections of deformed parameters which are consequences of a strong quantum gravitational effect.

Various approaches to quantum gravity, such as string theory, predict a minimal measurable length and a modification of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle near the Plank scale, known as the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). Here we study the effects of GUP, which preserves the rotational symmetry of the space–time, on the Kepler problem. By comparing the value of the perihelion shift of the planet Mercury in Schwarzschild – de Sitter space–time with the resultant value of GUP, we find a relation between the minimal measurable length and the cosmological constant of the space–time. Now, if the cosmological constant varies with time, we have a variable minimal length in the space–time. Finally, we investigate the effects of GUP on the stability of circular orbits.

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.

The light elements and their isotopes were produced during standard big bang nucleosynthesis (SBBN) during the first minutes after the creation of the universe. Comparing the calculated abundances of these light species with observed abundances, it appears that all species match very well except for lithium (7Li) which is overproduced by the SBBN. This discrepancy is rather challenging for several reasons to be considered on astrophysical and on nuclear physics ground, or by invoking nonstandard assumptions which are the focus of this paper. In particular, we consider a variation of the chemical potentials of the neutrinos and their temperature. In addition, we investigated the effect of dark matter on 7Li production. We argue that including nonstandard assumptions can lead to a significant reduction of the 7Li abundance compared to that of SBBN. This aspect of lithium production in the early universe may help to resolve the outstanding cosmological lithium problem.

Generalized uncertainty principle puts forward the existence of the shortest distances and/or maximum momentum at the Planck scale for consideration. In this article, we investigate the solutions of a two-dimensional Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau (DKP) oscillator within an external magnetic field in a minimal length (ML) scale. First, we obtain the eigensolutions in ordinary quantum mechanics. Then, we examine the DKP oscillator in the presence of an ML for the spin-zero and spin-one sectors. We determine an energy eigenvalue equation in both cases with the corresponding eigenfunctions in the non-relativistic limit. We show that in the ordinary quantum mechanic limit, where the ML correction vanishes, the energy eigenvalue equations become identical with the habitual quantum mechanical ones. Finally, we employ the Euler–Mclaurin summation formula and obtain the thermodynamic functions of the DKP oscillator in the high-temperature scale.

The Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) implies the existence of a physical minimum length scale [Formula: see text]. In this scenario, black holes must have a radius larger than [Formula: see text]. They are hotter and evaporate faster than in standard Hawking thermodynamics. We study the effects of the GUP on black hole production and decay at the LHC in models with large extra dimensions. Lower bounds on the fundamental Planck scale and the minimum black hole mass at formation are determined from black hole production cross-section limits by the CMS Collaboration. The existence of a minimum length generally decreases the lower bounds on the fundamental Planck scale obtained in the absence of a minimum length.

We investigate a microscopic black hole in the case of modified generalized uncertainty principle with a minimal uncertainty in position as well as in momentum. We calculate thermodynamical functions of a Schwarzschild black hole such as temperature, entropy and heat capacity. It is shown that the incorporation of minimal uncertainty in momentum leads to minimal temperature of a black hole. Minimal temperature gives rise to appearance of a phase transition. Emission rate equation and black hole's evaporation time are also obtained.
