Quantum cosmology with a minimal length
نویسنده
چکیده
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-Bounce appear; (ii) in the Taub one a quasi-isotropic configuration for the Universe is predicted by the model.

Cosmology with minimal length uncertainty relations
We study the effects of the existence of a minimal observable length in the phase space of classical and quantum de Sitter (dS) and Anti de Sitter (AdS) cosmology. Since this length has been suggested in quantum gravity and string theory, its effects in the early universe might be expected. Adopting the existence of such a minimum length results in the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP), w...
متن کاملمطالعه نیمه‌کلاسیکی چند رابطه جابه‌جاگری تعمیم‌یافته
Our aim in this paper is to find the observable effects of the generalized commutators. For this purpose we investigate two problems in quantum mechanics with minimal length procedure. Firstly, we study hydrogen atom energy levels via minimal length uncertainty relation algebra. From comparing our results, with experimental data we estimate an upper limit for minimal length. Secondly, we inve...
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 کاملPlanck Length and Cosmology
We show that an unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity implies that there is a fundamental length in Nature in the sense that no operational procedure would be able to measure distances shorter than the Planck length. Furthermore we give an explicit realization of an old proposal by Anderson and Finkelstein who argued that a fundamental length in nature implies unimodular gravi...
متن کاملکوانتش گرانش و بررسی هندسی مکانیک کوانتمی
We elaborate on some recent results on a solution of the Hilbert-space problem in minisuperspace quantum cosmology and discuss the consequences of making the (geometry of the) Hilbert space of ordinary nonrelativistic quantum systems time-dependent. The latter reveals a remarkable similarity between Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity.
