A Generalized Uncertainty Principle in Quantum Gravity
We discuss a Gedanken experiment for the measurement of the area of the apparent horizon of a black hole in quantum gravity. Using rather general and model-independent considerations we find a generalized uncertainty principle which agrees with a similar result obtained in the framework of string theories. The result indicates that a minimum length of the order of the Planck length emerges natu...
متن کاملTests of Quantum Gravity via Generalized Uncertainty Principle
In this paper we propose a way of determining the subleading corrections to the BekensteinHawking black hole entropy by considering a modified generalized uncertainty principle with two parameters. In the context of modified generalized uncertainty principle, coefficients of the correction terms of black hole entropy are written in terms of combination of the parameters. We also calculate corre...
متن کاملQuantum groups, gravity, and the generalized uncertainty principle.
We investigate the relationship between the generalized uncertainty principle in quantum gravity and the quantum deformation of the Poincaré algebra. We find that a deformed Newton-Wigner position operator and the generators of spatial translations and rotations of the deformed Poincaré algebra obey a deformed Heisenberg algebra from which the generalized uncertainty principle follows. The resu...
متن کاملGeneralized Uncertainty Principle and Quantum
In the present work the role that a generalized uncertainty principle could play in the quantization of the electromagnetic field is analyzed. It will be shown that we may speak of a Fock space, a result that implies that the concept of photon is properly defined. Nevertheless, in this new context the creation and annihilation operators become a function of the new term that modifies the Heisen...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics and the Generalized Uncertainty Principle
There is reason to believe in the existence of a minimal length that can in principle be measured. This viewpoint stems in part from the realization that if enough massenergy is confined to a small region of space, a black hole must form. For example if one increases the energy of colliding particles beyond the Planck energy, one expects the short distance effects to be hidden behind an event h...
