Degeneracy pressure in the presence of maximum length for non-interacting electrons

Combining quantum theory with the fundamental principles of gravity results in the modification of the uncertainty principle. In this study, we employ the extended uncertainty principle (EUP) with the maximum length derived from the cosmological particle horizon. The impact of this specific kind of modification is examined in a non-interacting electron gas system. We analytically derive the generalized relations for the degeneracy pressure and the bulk modulus. An intriguing finding is that the degeneracy pressure is reduced, as confirmed by the observed size of white dwarfs, which is smaller than what is predicted by the standard theory. Nevertheless, it is still capable of providing support against gravitational collapse.
