Abstract: The existence of a minimal observable length has long been suggested in quantum gravity as well as in string theory. In this context a generalized uncertainty relation has been derived which quantum theoretically describes the minimal length as a minimal uncertainty in position measurements. Here we study in full detail the quantum mechanical structure which underlies this uncertainty relation. DAMTP/94-105, hep-th/9412167, and Phys.Rev.D52:1108 (1995)

Time-dependent q -deformed coherent states for generalized uncertainty relations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate properties of generalized time-dependent q-deformed coherent states for a noncommutative harmonic oscillator and show that the states satisfy a generalized version of Heisenberg's uncertainty relations.
Minimal Length, Maximal Momentum and the Entropic Force Law
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the effects of minimal length and maximal momentum on the entropic force law formulated by E. Verlinde and show that both of them can modify the standard Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

The Minimal Length and Large Extra Dimensions
TL;DR: In this article, the status of Planck scale physics in these effective models is reviewed and a review of the current state of the art in these models is given. But the authors do not consider the effects of quantum gravity effects at the lower planck scale, such as the production of TeV-mass black holes and gravitons.

Planck scale corrections to the harmonic oscillator, coherent, and squeezed states
TL;DR: The generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) is a modification of Heisenberg's Principle predicted by several theories of quantum gravity as discussed by the authors, which consists of a modified commutator between the position and momentum.

Minimal length in quantum gravity and gravitational measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, a modification of the Schwarzschild metric based on the modified Hawking temperature derived from the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) was proposed, and the modified metric was used to calculate corrections to the deflection of light, time delay of light and perihelion precession.

Can spacetime be probed below the string size
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the energy is not so extreme to cause a gravitational instability and when the scattering angle approaches some critical value from below, the distance starts increasing, thus departing from the usual position-momentum uncertainty relation, and in no instance is the resolution smaller than the string length.

Spacetime quantization induced by classical gravity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose spacetime uncertainty relations motivated by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and by Einstein's theory of classical gravity, which is described by a non-commutative algebra whose commutation relations do imply our uncertainty relations.

Minimum physical length and the generalized uncertainty principle in string theory
TL;DR: In this article, a possible definition of path integrals for string theory is studied, based on a discretized version of Polyakov's generating functional, and the finite resolution of string theory, as opposed to the infinite resolution in particle theory, clearly emerges from a renormalization group type analysis.

The algebraic structure of the generalized uncertainty principle
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a deformation of the Heisenberg algebra which depends on a dimensionful parameter κ is the algebraic structure which underlies the generalized uncertainty principle in quantum gravity.
