Cosmological Constraints on the Generalized Uncertainty Principle from Redshift-Space Distortions

Abstract

We investigate the imprints of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle on cosmological scales by using redshift-space distortion measurements in combination with background cosmological data to determine constraints on the deformation parameter ${\hat{I}}^2$. We consider the modified Poisson bracket related to the existence of a minimal length, which leads to a modified Raychaudhuri equation for the standard $\hat{I}›$CDM model and gives rise to a phenomenological one-parameter dynamical dark energy scenario. Through this modification, we can reveal the effects of the minimal length on the late-time structure of the universe. We employ the $f$ and $f\ddot{I}{ƒ}_8$ measurements of the growth rate combined with background data, including cosmic chronometers, baryon acoustic oscillations and Type Ia supernova observations. The observational constraints reveal a systematically negative value for the deformation parameter ${\hat{I}}^2$, with the $\hat{I}›$CDM limit lying within the 95\% credible interval. When supernova data are included, the Akaike Information Criterion indicates weak-to-strong support in favour of the GUP-modified model depending on the SNIa catalogue, while the Bayesian evidence suggests a weak preference.
