Canonical thermostatics of ideal gas in the frame work of generalized uncertainty principle
The statistical consequences of minimal length supposition are investigated for a canonical ensemble of ideal gas. These effects are encoded in the so-called Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) of the second order. In the frame work of the considered GUP scenario, a unique partition function is obtained by using of two different methods of quantum and classical approaches. It should be noti...
متن کاملEdmund C. Stoner and the Discovery of the Maximum Mass of White Dwarfs
The existence of a mass limit for white dwarfs is usually attributed solely to the late astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (1910–95), and this limit is named after him. But as is often the case, the history of this discovery is more nuanced. In this paper I will show that the existence of a maximum mass was first established by Edmund C. Stoner (1899–1968), a physicist who began experime...
متن کاملOn Generalized Uncertainty Principle
We study generalized uncertainty principle through the basic concepts of limit and Fourier transformation to analyze the quantum theory of gravity or string theory from the perspective of a complex function. Motivated from the noncommutative nature of string theory, we have proposed a UV/IR mixing dependent function δ̃(∆x,∆k, ǫ). We arrived at the string uncertainty principle from the analyticit...
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...
