Quantum Gravitational Corrections to the Real Klein-Gordon Field in the Presence of a Minimal Length

Abstract

The (D+1)-dimensional (β,β′)-two-parameter Lorentz-covariant deformed algebra introduced by Quesne and Tkachuk (J. Phys., A Math. Gen. 39, 10909, 2006), leads to a nonzero minimal uncertainty in position (minimal length). The Klein-Gordon equation in a (3+1)-dimensional space-time described by Quesne-Tkachuk Lorentz-covariant deformed algebra is studied in the case where β′=2β up to first order over deformation parameter β. It is shown that the modified Klein-Gordon equation which contains fourth-order derivative of the wave function describes two massive particles with different masses. We have shown that physically acceptable mass states can only exist for $\beta<\frac{1}{8m^{2}c^{2}}$ which leads to an isotropic minimal length in the interval 10−17 m<(ΔX i )0<10−15 m. Finally, we have shown that the above estimation of minimal length is in good agreement with the results obtained in previous investigations.
