The existence of a fundamental scale, a lower bound to any output of a position measurement, seems to be a model-independent feature of quantum gravity. In fact, different approaches to this theory lead to this result. The key ingredients for the appearance of this minimum length are quantum mechanics, special relativity and general relativity. As a consequence, classical notions such as causality or distance between events cannot be expected to be applicable at this scale. They must be replaced by some other, yet unknown, structure.

  1. Squeezed Gravitons and One-Loop Self-Energy under Light-Cone Smearing

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Gravitons in different quantum states smear the light cone via operator treatment of Synge's world function, regularizing UV singularities in phi^3 and phi^4 one-loop diagrams with a 10^{-10} correction from primordia...

  2. Macroscopic Black-Hole Remnants in a Nonlocal Field Theory: Towards Hawking Radiation in SFT

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a smeared massless scalar on dynamical black hole, outgoing particle number drops to zero after scrambling time due to SFT nonlocality, implying macroscopic remnant.

  3. Coisotropic Lie bialgebras and complementary dual Poisson homogeneous spaces

    math-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Coreductivity and cosymmetry of a Lie bialgebra are defined and shown to characterize when the complementary dual homogeneous space is reductive or symmetric, with applications to κ-deformed Lorentzian spacetimes.

  4. Logarithmic corrections to black hole entropy from minimum-assumptions discretization

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Indistinguishable Planck-scale horizon cells with area-proportional phase space give S = A/4ℓp² − (1/2) ln(A/ℓp²) after fitting one cutoff constant.

  5. Late-Time Cosmological Tests of a Minisuperspace Generalized-Uncertainty-Principle Deformation

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Fitting a GUP-deformed Friedmann equation to CC+Pantheon++DESI DR2 data gives β* = −0.086 with a 95% interval including zero; the negative preference vanishes under stricter perturbative cuts.

  6. Probing the existence of a minimal length through compact binary inspiral

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A minimum length in spacetime would make black holes perfectly reflective below a cutoff frequency, imprinting the inspiral waveform via modified tidal heating.

  7. UV Effects and Short-Lived Hawking Radiation: Alternative Resolution of Information Paradox

    hep-th 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Hawking radiation terminates around the scrambling time due to trans-Planckian stringy effects in GUP and string-field-theory-inspired toy models, yielding negligible evaporation and a mostly classical black hole.

  8. On Padmanabhan's duality invariance and the quantum of length

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    O(ℓ²) corrections to Padmanabhan's duality-invariant propagator are realized by a free massive scalar field in Euclidean R^{D+2}.

  9. Statistical Entropy Based on the Generalized-Uncertainty-Principle-Induced Effective Metric

    gr-qc 2025-08 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    With GUP-modified effective metrics and tuned cutoffs (or tuned GUP parameter), the brick-wall entropy is made to reproduce the Bekenstein-Hawking area law.

  10. The new higher-order generalized uncertainty principle and primordial big bang nucleosynthesis

    gr-qc 2024-11 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A higher-order GUP is fitted to BBN abundances, but arithmetic errors invalidate the reported parameter bounds.

  11. Modified theories of gravity at different curvature scales

    gr-qc 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    A review that classifies modified gravity theories by the GR principles they preserve or violate, and maps their tests onto a curvature-compactness plane.

  12. Deformed algebraic structure of angular momenta: GUP perspective

    gr-qc 2024-11 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    The paper derives GUP-modified angular momentum and hydrogen energy shifts, but the central commutator step is mathematically unjustified.

  13. Rethinking quantum information in gravity and fields

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    The paper organizes important open questions in quantum gravity and quantum information into four themes without presenting new results or derivations.
