* Idea: In gravity, two scales
that can be used to deform the standard uncertainty relations are the Planck
length lP and the cosmological horizon
length lh; With quantum-gravity
effects, one tends to get larger uncertainties than in standard quantum mechanics,
related by Δx Δp ≥ (\(\hbar\)/2) (1 + ...), while
fixed, discrete spacetime tends to give smaller ones, related by Δx
Δp ≥ (\(\hbar\)/2) (1 − ...).
* Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP):
A UV modification, motivated by the quantum-gravity idea of a smallest possible
\(\Delta x \approx l_{\rm P}^~\); One proposed form is
Δxi Δpj \(\ge (\hbar\)/2) (1 + \(\alpha^2\, l_{\rm P}^{\,2}\) Δpi2 / \(\hbar\)2) δij .
* Extended Uncertainty Principle (EUP): An IR modification taking into account curved spacetime effects, motivated by physics in anti-de Sitter space,
Δxi Δpj ≥ (\(\hbar\)/2) (1 + β2 Δxi2 / lh2) δij ;
One can also have both terms present, in an extended generalized
uncertainty principle (EGUP).
* Károlyházy uncertainty relation:
If a device is used to measure a length l, there will be a minimum uncertainty
in the measurement given by \((\delta l)^3 \sim \ell_{\rm P}^2\,l\).

* Idea: One can obtain modified
uncertainty relations from a deformation of the Poincaré and/or Heisenberg
Δxi Δpj \(\ge {1\over2}|\langle[x_i, p_j]\rangle|\) .
* Examples: From the symmetry algebra of AdS one obtains the EUP above; In string theory one gets the modified commutation relations
[xi, pj] = i\(\hbar\)[(1 + β p2) δij + β' pi pj] .
