Quantum gravitational corrections to the real Klein-Gordon field in the presence of a minimal length. (English) Zbl 1202.83112

Summary: The \((D+1)\)-dimensional \((\beta,\beta')\)-two-parameter Lorentz-covariant deformed algebra introduced by C. Quesne and V. M. Tkachuk [J. Phys. A, Math. Gen. 39, No. 34, 10909–10922 (2006; Zbl 1168.81014)], 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 \(\beta'=2\beta \) up to first order over deformation parameter \(\beta \). 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 \(\beta<\frac{1}{8m^2c^2}\) which leads to an isotropic minimal length in the interval \(10^{-17}\,\text{m}<(\Delta X^i)_0< 10^{-15}\,\text{m}\). Finally, we have shown that the above estimation of minimal length is in good agreement with the results obtained in previous investigations.
