The rate of Schwinger pair production due to an external electric field can be derived heuristically from the uncertainty principle. In the presence of a cosmological constant, it has been argued in the literature that the uncertainty principle receives a correction due to the background curvature, which is known as the "extended uncertainty principle" (EUP). We show that EUP does indeed lead to the correct result for Schwinger pair production rate in anti-de Sitter spacetime (the case for de Sitter spacetime is similar), provided that the EUP correction term is negative (positive for the de Sitter case). We compare the results with previous works in the EUP literature, which are not all consistent. Our result further highlights an important issue in the literature of generalizations of the uncertainty principle: how much can heuristic derivations be trusted?

  1. Extended uncertainty principle inspired black hole in a G\"odel Universe

    gr-qc 2025-05 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A Godel-rotation-modified uncertainty principle is used to define a corrected black hole mass, producing enlarged horizon, shadow, and deflection with lower bounds a/M ~ 10^5 from EHT and PPN data.

  2. Spacetime-curvature induced uncertainty principle: linking the large-structure global effects to the local black hole physics

    gr-qc 2024-11 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    The authors derive a black hole metric with a cosmological-constant-dependent effective mass and use EHT and VLBI data to put extremely weak bounds on a quantum parameter beta.

  3. The Case For Black Hole Remnants: A Review

    gr-qc 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    A review arguing that black hole remnants remain viable and that the species and entropy objections to them are not decisive, so remnants could resolve the information paradox.
