A Generalized Uncertainty Principle in Quantum Gravity
read the original abstract
We discuss a Gedanken experiment for the measurement of the area of the apparent horizon of a black hole in quantum gravity. Using rather general and model-independent considerations we find a generalized uncertainty principle which agrees with a similar result obtained in the framework of string theories. The result indicates that a minimum length of the order of the Planck length emerges naturally from any quantum theory of gravity, and that the concept of black hole is not operationally defined if the mass is smaller than the Planck mass.

Tidal Deformation Bounds and Perturbation Transfer in Bounded Curvature Spacetimes
Bounded tidal fields imply a rigorous limit on accumulated geodesic deviation set by τ* = λ_max^{-1/2} and a critical wavenumber k* ~ τ*^{-1} for perturbation transfer with exponential suppression at high k.

Chaos and epoch structure in the deformed Mixmaster universe
GUP deformation shortens Kasner epochs in the Mixmaster universe while polymerization lengthens them, with combined effects adding linearly and chaos strength depending on the deformation parameters.

Uncertainty Principles and Maximum Entropic Force
Quantum gravity corrections via GUP, EUP, GEUP and LQGUP make the maximum entropic force depend on the uncertainty principles' dimensionless parameters and, for EUP, on the number of Planck areas composing the effective area.
