The application of the uncertainty relation to position and velocity of a source point represented by a general asymptotically flat static metric leads to fluctuations of the metric and the light cone structure. The fluctations in the coordinate photon velocity are given by the formula [Formula: see text] where k is the surface gravity and m is the mass of the source point.

We consider the gravitational field of a point mass and show that the application of the uncertainty principle leads to (i) an uncertainty relation for the metric and its conjugate momentum and (ii) finite fluctuations of the light-cone at the event horizon.

Geometric Quantum Mechanics is a version of quantum theory that has been formulated in terms of Hamiltonian phase-space dynamics. The states in this framework belong to points in complex projective Hilbert space, the observables are real valued functions on the space, and the Hamiltonian flow is described by the Schr{\"o}dinger equation. Besides, one has demonstrated that the stronger version of the uncertainty relation, namely the Robertson-Schr{\"o}dinger uncertainty relation, may be stated using symplectic form and Riemannian metric. In this research, the generalized Robertson-Schr{\"o}dinger uncertainty principle for spin $\frac{1}{2}$ system has been constructed by considering the operators corresponding to arbitrary direction.

The most important observable consequence of the vacuum fluctuations is the Casimir effect. Its classical manifestation is a force between two uncharged conductive plates placed a few nanometers apart. In this work, we improve the deduction of the Casimir effect from the uncertainty principle by using an effective radius for the quantum fluctuations. Moreover, the existence of this effective distance is discussed. Finally, a heuristic derivation of the Casimir energy for a spherical shell and a sphere-plate cases is given.

In the Schwarzschild field due to a mass moving with velocity v → c0, where c0 is the speed of light in vacuum, the source-induced quantum fluctuation in the light cone exhibits consistency with the Aichelburg–Sexl solution while that in the metric dynamical variable does not. At the horizon, none of the fluctuations is proportional to anything finite. However, in the nonrelativistic limit (v → 0), known expressions follow.

In this paper, the relation between the modified Lorenz boosts, proposed in the doubly relativity theories and a linear combination of Conformal Group generators in R1,d-1 is investigated. The introduction of a new generator is proposed in order to deform the Conformal Group to achieve the connection conjectured. The new generator is obtained through a formal dimensional reduction from a free massless particle living in a R2,d space. Due to this treatment it is possible to say that even DSR theories modify light-cone structure in R1,d-1, it could remains, in some cases, untouched in R2,d.

AbstractA static metric is considered. A meaningful definition of gravitational force is given and the potential, which is the norm of the Killing vector ξa, is studied. For the case that the metric is asymptotically flat, the following is shown: The equi-potential surfaces are closed 2-dimensional surfacesSlying in the rest space V3, which is the hypersurface orthogonal to ξa. All the surfacesSenclose matter, and the gravitational force points intoStowards the enclosed matter. A test particle starting atSwill be pulled into the domain bounded bySand will never leave this domain.

Abstract It is argued that two distinct types of complementarity are implied in Bohr's complementarity principle. While in the case of complementary variables it is the quantum mechanical uncertainty relation which is at work, the collapse hypothesis ensures this exclusiveness in the so-called wave-particle complementarity experiments. In particular it is shown that the conventional analysis of the double slit experiment which invokes the uncertainty principle to explain the absence of the simultaneous knowledge of the which-slit information and the interference pattern is incorrect and implies consequences that are quantum mechanically inconsistent.
