abstract
It is shown that polymer quantization leads to a modified uncertainty principle similar to that obtained from string theory and non-commutative geometry. When applied to quantum field theory on general background spacetimes, corrections to the uncertainty principle acquire a metric dependence. For Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology this translates to a scale factor dependence which gives a large effect in the early universe.

Bounded compactness from G(E)UP
The generalized uncertainty principle bounds the compactness of any object much heavier than the Planck mass by about 1/α, and the existence of black holes forces the GUP parameter to satisfy α ≲ 2.
