Abstract

In this work, we consider effects of the dynamical vacuum in quantum cosmology in presence of a minimum length introduced by the GUP (generalized uncertainty principle) related to the modified commutation relation [X^,P^]:=i1βP^2[\hat{X},\hat{P}] := \frac{i\hbar}{ 1 - \beta\hat{P}^2 } . We determine the wave function of the Universe ψqp(ξ,t) \psi_{qp}(\xi,t), which is solution of the modified Wheeler-DeWitt equation in the representation of the quasi-position space, in the limit where the scale factor of the Universe is small. Although ψqp(ξ,t)\psi_{qp}(\xi,t) is a physically acceptable state it is not a realizable state of the Universe because ψqp(ξ,t) \psi_{qp}(\xi,t) has infinite norm, as in the ordinary case with no minimal length.
