| Abstract | This thesis delves into how the structure of spacetime affects quantum phenomena at both microscopic and macroscopic scales. It examines the possibility of Euclidean characteristics at small scales and analyzes the corresponding action within a covariant framework. The study's significant contributions include exploring entropy computation through Euclidean methods, revealing deviations from traditional entropy in field theories, and Lanczos-Lovelock actions. Incorporating a minimal length scale into the modified dispersion relation leads to a covariant formulation of the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), which connects the Heisenberg algebra, momentum space geometry, and a modified dispersion relation within a unified framework. Furthermore, the thesis examines wave function localization for macroscopic objects, emphasizing the role of gravitational effects in the emergence of classical behavior. Overall, this work provides insights into the relationship between spacetime structure and quantum phenomena and offers contributions to entropy computation, GUP, and classical behavior emergence. |
