Thus, we obtain a quantum-induced deformation parameter that directly depends on the chosen minimal length scale. This quantum-induced deformation is conjectured to require the generalization of Riemannian spacetime geometry underlying the classical theory of general relativity to an eight-dimensional spacetime fiber bundle, which dictates the deformation of the line element, metric tensor, Levi-Civita connection, Riemann curvature tensor, etc. We calculate the deformation thus produced in the Levi-Civita connection and find it to explicitly and exclusively depend on the product of the minimum measurable length and the particle’s spacelike four-acceleration vector, L2x¨2. We find that the deformed Levi-Civita connection preserves all properties of its undeformed counterpart, such as torsion freedom and metric compatibility. Accordingly, we have constructed a deformed version of the Riemann curvature tensor whose expression can be factorized in all its terms with different functions of L2x¨2. We also show that the classical four-manifold status of being Riemannian is preserved when the quantum-induced deformation is negligible. We study the dependence of a parallel-transported tangent vector on the spacelike four-acceleration. We illustrate the impact of the minimal-length-induced quantum deformation on the classical geometrical objects of the general theory of relativity using the unit radius two-sphere example. We conclude that the minimal length deformation implies a correction to the spacetime curvature and its contractions, which is manifest in the additional curvature terms of the corrected Riemann tensor. Accordingly, quantum-induced effects endow an additional spacetime curvature and geometrical structure.","PeriodicalId":20136,"journal":{"name":"Physics","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135093205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
