We discuss a Gedanken experiment for the measurement of the area of the apparent horizon of a black hole in quantum gravity. Using rather general and model-independent considerations we find a generalized uncertainty principle which agrees with a similar result obtained in the framework of string theories. The result indicates that a minimum length of the order of the Planck length emerges naturally from any quantum theory of gravity, and that the concept of black hole is not operationally defined if the mass is smaller than the Planck mass.

  1. IR Dynamics from UV Divergences: UV/IR Mixing, NCFT, and the Hierarchy Problem

    hep-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In noncommutative Yukawa theory, the CPT-required pair of interaction orderings converts the one-loop ultraviolet quadratic divergence into an infrared pole that is reachable in the s-channel.

  2. Macroscopic Black-Hole Remnants in a Nonlocal Field Theory: Towards Hawking Radiation in SFT

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a smeared massless scalar on dynamical black hole, outgoing particle number drops to zero after scrambling time due to SFT nonlocality, implying macroscopic remnant.

  3. Tidal Deformation Bounds and Perturbation Transfer in Bounded Curvature Spacetimes

    gr-qc 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bounded tidal fields imply a rigorous limit on accumulated geodesic deviation set by τ* = λ_max^{-1/2} and a critical wavenumber k* ~ τ*^{-1} for perturbation transfer with exponential suppression at high k.

  4. Minimal Proper-time in Quantum Field Theory

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A minimal proper time τ_min is introduced into QFT to suppress high-energy modes, achieve asymptotic safety via dimensional reduction, and allow a deterministic regime near the Planck scale.

  5. From minimal-length quantum theory to modified gravity

    gr-qc 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A systematic mapping is derived from GUP parameters in minimal-length quantum theory to higher-order curvature coefficients in extended gravity, with an application yielding an upper bound on the minimal measurable le...

  6. UV Effects and Short-Lived Hawking Radiation: Alternative Resolution of Information Paradox

    hep-th 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Hawking radiation terminates around the scrambling time due to trans-Planckian stringy effects in GUP and string-field-theory-inspired toy models, yielding negligible evaporation and a mostly classical black hole.

  7. Statistical Entropy Based on the Generalized-Uncertainty-Principle-Induced Effective Metric

    gr-qc 2025-08 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    With GUP-modified effective metrics and tuned cutoffs (or tuned GUP parameter), the brick-wall entropy is made to reproduce the Bekenstein-Hawking area law.

  8. The Science of the Einstein Telescope

    gr-qc 2025-03 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    The paper provides state-of-the-art predictions for the Einstein Telescope's impact on fundamental physics, cosmology, compact-object astrophysics, and multi-messenger astronomy across its proposed configurations.
