Abstract

In this paper we have consider the thermodynamics of a photon gas subject to the presence of a minimal measurable length following from a covariant extension of the original generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). After establishing consistently a generalized dynamics, we define a GUP deformed Maxwell invariant which serves as the basis for our study. In order to highlight the GUP effects we compute the one- and two-loop order contribution to the partition function at the high-temperature limit. Afterwards, by computing the internal energy density we conclude that the additional terms can be seen as corrections δσgup\delta\sigma_{\rm{gup}} to the Stefan-Boltzmann law due to GUP effects.
