Minimal Lengths in 3D via the Generalized Uncertainty Principle

Michael Bishop, Joey Contreras, Peter Martin +2

We investigate an extension of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) in three dimensions by modifying the three dimensional position and momentum operators in a manner that r…

Comments on the cosmological constant in generalized uncertainty models

Michael Bishop, Joey Contreras, Peter Martin +1

The existence of a small, non-zero cosmological constant is one of the major puzzles in fundamental physics. Naively, quantum field theory arguments would imply a cosmological cons…

The more things change the more they stay the same: Minimum lengths with unmodified uncertainty principle and dispersion relation

Michael Bishop, Joey Contreras, Douglas Singleton

Broad arguments indicate that quantum gravity should have a minimal length scale. In this essay we construct a minimum length model by generalizing the time-position and energy-mom…

A Subtle Aspect of Minimal Lengths in the Generalized Uncertainty Principle

Michael Bishop, Joey Contreras, Douglas Singleton

In this work, we point out an overlooked and subtle feature of the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) approach to quantizing gravity: namely that different pairs of modified o…

Reconciling a quantum gravity minimal length with lack of photon dispersion

Michael Bishop, Joey Contreras, Jaeyeong Lee +1

Generic arguments lead to the idea that quantum gravity has a minimal length scale. A possible observational signal of such a minimal length scale is that photons should exhibit di…
