Narrow Results

Some consequences of the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) are investigated, including the deformations of the Wein's law and the state equations of black body radiation. The effects of the GUP on the thermodynamics of black holes are investigated by a heuristic method. A bound on the luminosity of the black hole radiation is obtained. The logarithmic corrections to the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy are obtained in three cases. The potential relation between the GUP and the holographic principle is also briefly discussed.

In this paper two consequences of the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) are discussed in a heuristic manner. Both could be regarded as the evidences that prefer the cosmic censorship hypothesis (CCH). The first one is that the second law tends to decline the massless charged particles if the effects of the GUP on the thermodynamics of a de Sitter spacetime are considered. This weakens the threat to the horizon of an extreme charged black hole. The second one is that the uv/ir correspondence provides a constraint on the relation between the energy and the size of a system, which is incompatible to the naked singularities.

Possible existence of black holes remnants provides a suitable candidates for dark matter. In this paper we study the possibility of existence for such remnants. We consider quantum gravitational induced corrections of black hole's entropy and temperature to investigate the possibility of such relics. Observational scheme for detection of these remnants and their cosmological constraints are discussed.

Existence of a minimal observable length which has been indicated by string theory and quantum gravity, leads to a modification of Dirac equation. In this letter we find this modified Dirac equation and solve its eigenvalue problem for a free particle. We will show that due to background spacetime fluctuation, it is impossible to have free particle in Planck scale.

We construct a quantum theory of free scalar field in (1+1) dimensions based on the deformed Heisenberg algebra where β is a deformation parameter. Both canonical and path integral formalisms are employed. A higher dimensional extension is easily performed in the path integral formalism.

Recently, there has been a lot of attention devoted to resolving the quantum corrections to the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy of the black hole. In particular, the coefficient of the logarithmic term in the black hole entropy correction has been of great interest. In this paper, the black hole is corresponded to a canonical ensemble in statistics by radiant spectrum, resulted from the black hole tunnelling effect studies and the partition function of ensemble is derived. Then the entropy of the black hole is calculated. When the first-order approximation is taken into account, the logarithmic term of entropy correction is consistent with the result of the generalized uncertainty principle. In our calculation, there are no uncertainty factors. The prefactor of the logarithmic correction and the one if fluctuation is considered are the same. Our result shows that if the thermal capacity is negative, there is no divergent term. We provide a general method for further discussion on quantum correction to Bekenstein–Hawking entropy. We also offer a theoretical basis for comparing string theory and loop quantum gravity and deciding which one is more reliable.

We investigate the effects of space noncommutativity and the generalized uncertainty principle on the thermodynamics of a radiating Schwarzschild black hole. We show that evaporation process is in such a way that black hole reaches a maximum temperature before its final stage of evolution and then cools down to a nonsingular remnant with zero temperature and entropy. We compare our results with more reliable results of string theory. This comparison shows that GUP and space noncommutativity are similar concepts at least from the viewpoint of black hole thermodynamics.

Recently, there has been much attention devoted to resolving the quantum corrections to the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy of a black hole. In this paper, we calculate the correction value of thermodynamic quantities of the Achucarro–Oritz black hole motivated by utilizing the generalized uncertainty principle. We obtain the Cardy–Verlinde formula after considering the correction.

We investigate the new agegraphic dark energy models with generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). It turns out that although the GUP affects the early universe, it does not change the current and future dark energy-dominated universe significantly. Furthermore, this model could describe the matter-dominated universe in the past only when the parameter n is chosen to be n > n_c, where the critical value is determined to be n_c = 2.799531478.

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.

The entropic gravity scenario recently proposed by Erik Verlinde reproduced Newton's law of purely classical gravity yet the key assumptions of this approach all have quantum mechanical origins. As is typical for emergent phenomena in physics, the underlying, more fundamental physics often reveals itself as corrections to the leading classical behavior. So one naturally wonders: where is ℏ hiding in entropic gravity? To address this question, we first revisit the idea of holographic screen as well as entropy and its variation law in order to obtain a self-consistent approach to the problem. Next we argue that since the concept of minimal length has been invoked in the Bekenstein entropic derivation, the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), which is a direct consequence of the minimal length, should be taken into consideration in the entropic interpretation of gravity. Indeed based on GUP it has been demonstrated that the black hole Bekenstein entropy area law must be modified not only in the strong but also in the weak gravity regime where in the weak gravity limit the GUP modified entropy exhibits a logarithmic correction. When applying it to the entropic interpretation, we demonstrate that the resulting gravity force law does include sub-leading order correction terms that depend on ℏ. Such deviation from the classical Newton's law may serve as a probe to the validity of entropic gravity.

We construct the exact position representation for a deformed (non-relativistic) quantum mechanics which exhibits an intrinsic maximum momentum and use it to study problems such as a particle in a box and an asymmetric well. In particular, we show that unlike usual quantum mechanics, the present deformed case delays the formation of bound states in a finite potential well, a distinguishing feature that might be relevant for empirical investigations. We also contrast our results with the string-motivated type of deformed quantum mechanics which incorporates a minimum position uncertainty rather than a maximum momentum.

The extended commutation relations for generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) have been based on the assumption of the minimal length in position. Instead of this assumption, we start with a constrained Hamiltonian system described by the conventional Poisson algebra and then impose appropriate second class constraints to this system. Consequently, we can show that the consistent Dirac brackets for this system are nothing, but the extended commutation relations describing the GUP.

The pseudoharmonic oscillator potential is studied in non-relativistic quantum mechanics with a generalized uncertainty principle characterized by the existence of a minimal length scale, . By using a perturbative approach, we derive an analytical expression of the energy spectrum in the first-order of the minimal length parameter β. We investigate the effect of this fundamental length on the vibration–rotation energy levels of diatomic molecules through this potential function interaction. We explicitly show that the minimal length would have some physical importance in studying the spectra of diatomic molecules.

We consider the Ramsauer–Townsend effect in the presence of a generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) and within the Dirac equation framework for potential well, step potential and infinite well. The system characteristics are obtained in an exact analytical manner and the effect of minimal length parameter on the spectrum of the system is well-illustrated.

In this paper, the lifespan under the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) of rotating black hole is derived through the corrected radiation energy flux and the first law of the thermodynamics of black hole. The radiation energy flux indicates that there exist the highest temperature and the minimum mass both of which are relevant to the initial mass of the black hole in the final stage of the radiation. The lifespan of rotating black hole includes three terms: the dominant term is just the lifespan in the flat spacetime; the other two terms are individually induced by the rotation and the GUP.

In this paper, using the new type of D-dimensional nonperturbative Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) which has predicted both a minimal length uncertainty and a maximal observable momentum,¹ first, we obtain the maximally localized states and express their connections to [P. Pedram, Phys. Lett. B714, 317 (2012)]. Then, in the context of our proposed GUP and using the generalized Schrödinger equation, we solve some important problems including particle in a box and one-dimensional hydrogen atom. Next, implying modified Bohr–Sommerfeld quantization, we obtain energy spectra of quantum harmonic oscillator and quantum bouncer. Finally, as an example, we investigate some statistical properties of a free particle, including partition function and internal energy, in the presence of the mentioned GUP.

In this work, we present a technique to obtain bounds on the generalized uncertainty principle deformation parameter by using an improved Schwarzschild solution represented by the Hayward metric in the context of scale-dependent gravity. Specifically, this deformation parameter can be interpreted in terms of a running parameter which controls the deviation from the standard Einstein–Hilbert action in the scale-dependent scenario.

We present an investigation on thermodynamics of two different types of black holes viz. Kiselev black hole (asymptotically flat) and Taub–NUT (non-asymptotically flat) black hole. We compute the thermodynamic variables like black hole’s Hawking temperature and entropy at the black hole’s event horizon. Further, we derive the heat capacity and examine it to study the thermal stability of the black holes. We also calculate the rate of emission, assuming the black holes radiate energy in terms of photons by tunneling. We graphically represent all the parameters including the rate of emission of the black holes and interpret them physically. We depict a comparative study of thermodynamics between the aforesaid types of black holes. We find the existence of a transition of phase. Finally, we obtain the quantum corrected thermodynamics on the basis of general uncertainty principle and it is seen from the quantum-corrected entropy that it contains the logarithmic term. We offer comparative studies on joint effect of generalized uncertainty principle parameter $\alpha$ along with the concerned black holes’ parameters on the thermodynamics.

In this paper, we study the (1 + 1)-dimensional Dirac equation in the presence of electric field and scalar linear potentials on (anti)-de Sitter background. Using the position representation, the energy spectrum and the corresponding wave functions are exactly obtained.
