We extend significantly previous works on the Hilbert space representations of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) in 3+1 dimensions of the form $[X_i,P_j] = i F_{ij}$ where $ F_{ij} = f(P^2) \delta_{ij} + g(P^2) P_i P_j $ for any…
The generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) is a gravitational correction of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which allows us to probe some features of quantum gravity even without the full theory. We are used to working with metric…
