Infrared Generalized Uncertainty Principles Applied To LRS Bianchi I Quantum Cosmology (2011.12442v2)

Abstract: We propose two higher order generalized uncertainty principles(GUPs) which predict a minimum uncertainty in momentum and apply the deformations that they entail of the Heisenberg algebra to one half of the phase space of the LRS Bianchi I models. After numerically solving the resultant Wheeler Dewitt equations we analyze our solutions and provide evidence that potential IR effects of quantum gravity could have played a role in selecting an overwhelmingly likely geometrical configuration that a quantum universe can possess. In addition we propose a GUP which predicts both a minimum uncertainty in momentum and a maximal measurable length scale which can be interpreted as a fixed maximum cosmological horizon. The results contained in this work provide further incentives to study what effects higher order GUP(s) have on quantum cosmology so we can obtain a better understanding of how quantum gravity could have impacted cosmological evolution.
