Field propagation in a stochastic background space: The rate of light incoherence in stellar interferometry

Abstract

We present Hilbert space representation for a relatively broad class of minimum-length deformed quantum mechanical models obtained by incorporating a space-time uncertainty relation into quantum mechanics. The correspondingly modified field theory is used for estimating the deviation of the light incoherence rate from distant astrophysical sources from the standard case.
