Various frameworks of quantum gravity predict a modification in the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to a so-called generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). Introducing quantum gravity effect makes a considerable change in the density of states inside the volume of the phase space which changes the statistical and thermodynamical properties of any physical system. In this paper we investigate the modification in thermodynamic properties of ideal gases and photon gas. The partition function is calculated and using it we calculated a considerable growth in the thermodynamical functions for these considered systems. The growth may happen due to an additional repulsive force between constitutes of gases which may be due to the existence of GUP, hence predicting a considerable increase in the entropy of the system. Besides, by applying GUP on an ideal gas in a trapped potential, it is found that GUP assumes a minimum measurable value of thermal wavelength of particles which agrees with discrete nature of the space that has been derived in previous studies from the GUP.

Schwarzschild Black Hole Thermodynamics and Generalized Uncertainty Principle

Mohamed Moussa

Summary: In this paper, a linear generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) was used to analyze the COW experiment and Einstein-Bohr's a photon box experiment. A modified Schwarzschild metric was obtained to calculate quantum corrections in Schwarzschild black hole thermodynamics and tunneling probability. The study found that GUP places restrictions on the minimum mass, size, and temperature of black holes, indicating the presence of a black hole remnant after evaporation.

Generalized uncertainty principle and stochastic gravitational wave background spectrum

Mohamed Moussa, Homa Shababi, Ahmed Farag Ali

Summary: This paper examines the impact of the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) on the stochastic gravitational wave (SGW) background signal in the early universe. By modifying the formula for entropy and using pressure parameterizations based on recent lattice calculations, the temporal evolution of temperature and equation of state around the QCD epoch are studied. The results show that the GUP effect leads to an increase in the frequency peak of SGW and weakens the SGW signal generated during the QCD phase transition.

Discreteness of space from anisotropic spin-orbit interaction

Ahmed Farag Ali, Barun Majumder

Summary: Various approaches to Quantum Gravity suggest the existence of a minimal measurable length, with potential modifications to uncertainty principle, dispersion relation, non-commutative geometry, or Lorentz symmetry. This paper proposes that minimal length can be naturally obtained through spin-orbit interaction, leading to space quantization and indicating a breakdown of space continuum near the scale of tabletop experiments.

Massless charged particles tunneling radiation from a RN-dS horizon and the linear and quadratic GUP

Elias C. Vagenas, Ahmed Farag Ali, Mohammed Hemeda, Hassan Alshal

Summary: This paper investigates the massless Reissner-Nordstrom de Sitter metric in the context of minimal length scenarios, proving the confinement of energy density of massless charged particles and their ability to tunnel through the cosmological horizon. The massless particles may interact with Dirac sea, appearing outside the cosmological horizon in dS/CFT holography, potentially providing a fundamental reason for the expansion of the Dirac sea. This could lead to a spacetime Big Crunch.

Timeless state of gravity: Black hole universal clock

Ahmed Farag Ali

Summary: The investigation of Rindler's frame measurements brought about a gravitational interpretation of speed of light, mass, and uncertainty principle from its perspective. This interpretation can be viewed as measurements of a black hole universal clock, leading to the emergence of a timeless state of gravity in a mathematically consistent way – in simple terms, space may be frozen time.

Minimal length, maximal momentum and stochastic gravitational waves spectrum generated from cosmological QCD phase transition

Mohamed Moussa, Homa Shababi, Anisur Rahaman, Ujjal Kumar Dey

Summary: The study investigates the temporal evolution of universe temperature with respect to the Hubble parameter associated with Stochastic Gravitational Waves (SGW) within the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) framework. The research shows that the free parameter alpha in the GUP framework can slightly enhance the SGW frequency at lower frequencies, which may have implications for future SGW detection using gravitational wave facilities.

Universality of minimal length

Ahmed Farag Ali, Ibrahim Elmashad, Jonas Mureika

Summary: This article presents an argument reinterpreting the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) and its associated minimal length as an effective variation of Planck constant (h), and suggests that the charge radii and masses of hadrons/nuclei support this effective variation. It also discusses the necessity of varying h and G in explaining the correction to Von Neumann entropy in the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy-area law, and proposes a potential relationship between the effective value of h and the epoch of nucleosynthesis.

Quantum Gravity effect on accretion disk of Schwarzschild black hole

Mohamed Moussa

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of quantum gravity, represented by the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), on the accretion disk around a Schwarzschild black hole. The modified metric due to GUP is determined. The study focuses on spherically symmetric, steady-state, adiabatic accretion onto a modified Schwarzschild black hole. Analytical formulation of the problem is achieved within the framework of general relativity by assuming a polytropic accreting gas. Despite the decrease in the effective mass of the black hole due to GUP, the rate of mass accretion is accelerated and there is an increase in the critical radius and critical speed of sound with a decrease in critical gas velocity. Furthermore, the gas pressure and temperature profiles below the critical point and at the event horizon are considered and found to increase due to the GUP effect.

Thermodynamical character and the radiation process of the thin accretion disk of minimum measurable length-inspired regular black hole

Himangshu Barman, Homa Shababi, Mohamed Moussa, Anisur Rahaman

Summary: We investigate the impact of quantum gravity on the thermodynamic characteristics and radiation processes of thin accretion disks surrounding Schwarzschild-like black holes. To incorporate quantum gravity into our study, we apply the framework of generalization of uncertainty, which is equivalent to the renormalization group improved quantum gravity and maintains the limit of asymptotically safe preposition of gravity. A free parameter, reflecting the quantum effects on spacetime geometry, is introduced to enable the study of the thermal properties of the black hole itself and the accretion disk surrounding it at the quantum level. We explicitly calculate the entropy, temperature, free energy, and enthalpy of the modified black hole and show how they vary with the free parameter encoding the quantum effects. Moreover, we provide estimations of the quantum correction to the time-averaged energy flux, temperature of the disk, differential luminosity, and the conversion efficiency of accretion mass into radiation. We observe a conspicuous shifting of the radius of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) toward small values together with an enhancement of the maximum values of the average thermal radiation and greater conversion efficiency of accreting mass into radiation compared to the classical gravity scenario.

Unraveling the mystery of the cosmological constant: Does spacetime uncertainty hold the key?

Ahmed Farag Ali, Nader Inan

Summary: In tackling the cosmological constant problem, we postulate that the disagreement between the theoretical and observed values can be attributed to the inherent uncertainties in the spacetime metric. Mach's principle and the concept of a particle as a quantum cloud indicate that the precise location of mass is unknowable, making it difficult to comprehend the quantum-level structure of spacetime. The intriguing connection between quantum and spacetime uncertainties may hold the key to resolving the cosmological constant problem, as the scale of spacetime uncertainty aligns with macroscopic quantum weirdness observed in recent experiments.

Lorentz and gauge invariance of quantum space

Ahmed Farag Ali, Barun Majumder, Prabir Rudra

Summary: Motivated by the generalized uncertainty principle, the authors establish a discrete model of space that respects both Lorentz symmetry and gauge symmetry. They achieve this by equating the linear GUP correction term and the electromagnetic interaction term in the Dirac equation and derive a wave function that satisfies this equivalence. This discretization may provide an explanation for the crystal and quasicrystal structures observed in nature at various energy scales.

Einstein-Rosen bridge from the minimal length

Kimet Jusufi, Emmanuel Moulay, Jonas Mureika, Ahmed Farag Ali

Summary: We construct an Einstein-Rosen (ER) bridge with a wormhole throat proportional to the zero-point length using a string T-duality corrected pair of regular black holes. This could be a geometric realization of quantum entanglement for particle/antiparticle pairs. The extreme mass configuration of a black hole pair can result in an ER bridge with a horizon area coinciding with the Bekenstein minimal area bound and a wormhole mass proportional to the Planck mass, which may relate to gravitational self-completeness with quantum mechanical mass limits. We also discuss the ER bridge for sub-Planckian mass horizonless wormholes, which exhibits a region of negative energy at the throat, possibly generated by quantum fluctuations or the Casimir effect.

Unitary symmetries in wormhole geometry and its thermodynamics

Ahmed Farag Ali, Emmanuel Moulay, Kimet Jusufi, Hassan Alshal

Summary: From a geometric perspective, this article demonstrates that the unitary symmetries U(1) and SU(2) can be fundamentally derived from the Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrom wormhole geometries through spacetime complexification. Quantum tunneling is then explored to enable particle traversal of these wormholes, leading to wormhole thermodynamics.
