Interpretation of Quantum Field Theories with a Minimal Length Scale
Quantum gravity is probably the most challenging and fascinating problem of physics in the 21st century. The most impressive indicator is the number of people working on it, even though so far there is no experimental evidence that might guide us from mathematics to physical reality. During the last years, the priority in the field has undergone a shift towards the phenomenology and possible pr...
متن کاملMinimal Length Scale Scenarios for Quantum Gravity
We review the question of whether the fundamental laws of nature limit our ability to probe arbitrarily short distances. First, we examine what insights can be gained from thought experiments for probes of shortest distances, and summarize what can be learned from different approaches to a theory of quantum gravity. Then we discuss some models that have been developed to implement a minimal len...
متن کاملQuantum cosmology with a minimal length
Quantum cosmology in the presence of a fundamental minimal length is analyzed in the context of the flat isotropic and the Taub cosmological models. Such minimal scale comes out from a generalized uncertainty principle and the quantization is performed in the minisuperspace representation. Both the quantum Universes are singularity-free and (i) in the isotropic model no evidences for a Big-Boun...
متن کاملSelf-consistency in Theories with a Minimal Length
The aim of this paper is to clarify the relation between three different approaches of theories with a minimal length scale: A modification of the Lorentzgroup in the ’Deformed Special Relativity’, theories with a ’Generalized Uncertainty Principle’ and those with ’Modified Dispersion Relations’. It is shown that the first two are equivalent, how they can be translated into each other, and how ...
متن کاملOn Quantum Field Theories
We derive unitarity restrictions on the scaling dimensions of primary quantum operators in a superconformal quantum field theory, in d =3, 4, 5, 6. 1. Introduction Whereas classical massless field theories are often conformally invariant, the same is rarely true of their quantum counterparts. To define a quantum field theory, you need to specify both a Lagrangian and a cutoff. The cutoff introd...
