Generalized Extended Uncertainty Principles, Liouville theorem and density of states: Snyder-de Sitter and Yang models

Abstract

Modifications in quantum mechanical phase space lead to changes in the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which can result in the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) or the Extended Uncertainty Principle (EUP), introducing quantum gravitational effects at small and large distances, respectively. A combination of GUP and EUP, the Generalized Extended Uncertainty Principle (GEUP or EGUP), further generalizes these modifications by incorporating noncommutativity in both coordinates and momenta. This paper examines the impact of GEUP on the analogue of the Liouville theorem in statistical physics and density of states within the classical limit of non-relativistic quantum mechanics framework. We find a weighted phase space volume element, invariant under the infinitesimal time evolution, in the cases of Snyder-de Sitter and Yang models, presenting how GEUP alters the density of states, potentially affecting physical (thermodynamical) properties. Special cases, obtained in certain limits from the above models are discussed. New higher order types of GEUP and EUP are also proposed.
