چکیده
Abstract In this paper, we present an overview of some the existing issues research in quantum gravity. We also introduce basic ideas that led Padmanabhan to consider a duality property path integrals. Such is consistent with T-duality string theory. More importantly, integral discloses universal feature any geometry, namely existence zero point length $$L_0$$ L 0 . comment about recent developments aiming expose effects strong electrodynamics and black holes. There are reasons believe main characters phenomenology gravity may be described by means single parameter like

Quantum gravity and minimum length
The existence of a fundamental scale, a lower bound to any output of a position measurement, seems to be a model-independent feature of quantum gravity. In fact, different approaches to this theory lead to this result. The key ingredients for the appearance of this minimum length are quantum mechanics, special relativity and general relativity. As a consequence, classical notions such as causal...
متن کاملDuality and Zero-Point Length of Spacetime
The action for a relativistic free particle of mass m receives a contribution 2mds from a path of infinitesimal length ds. Using this action in a path integral, one can obtain the Feynman propagator for a spinless particle of mass m. Assuming that the path integral amplitude is invariant under the “duality” transformation ds ! LPyds, one can calculate the modified Feynman propagator. I show tha...

متن کاملThe length operator in Loop Quantum Gravity
The dual picture of quantum geometry provided by a spin network state is discussed. From this perspective, we introduce a new operator in Loop Quantum Gravity – the length operator. We describe its quantum geometrical meaning and derive some of its properties. In particular we show that the operator has a discrete spectrum and is diagonalized by appropriate superpositions of spin network states...
