Quantum Gravity Effect on The Time History of The Universe

TL;DR

This paper investigates how the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) influences the QCD phase transition in the early universe, revealing that GUP shortens the duration of each phase during cosmic evolution.

Contribution

It introduces a modified MIT bag model incorporating GUP effects and analyzes their impact on the universe's thermodynamic evolution using Friedmann equations.

Findings

GUP shortens the duration of QCD phases in the universe

Modified thermodynamic quantities due to GUP are derived

GUP influences the timing of cosmic phase transitions

Abstract

The QCD phase transition exhibits different periods during the evolution time of the universe. We explore the cosmological implications of QCD phase transition in the early universe, which was mainly full of QGP matter, through the Friedmann equations. This is performed by studying the effect of GUP on the MIT bag model. The obtained modified MIT bag model alongside with the Friedmann equations are utilized to study the thermodynamical quantities in terms of the evolution time. The effect of GUP is set by inserting the parameter $\alpha = 10^{-5}\hspace{0.03cm}GeV^{-1}$. It is found that, the GUP effect on the evolution time of the universe makes it shorter, i.e the time span of each phase takes shorter time to transfer to another phase than their corresponding ones without GUP effect.
