Path integral in position-deformed Heisenberg algebra with strong quantum gravitational measurement

Position-deformed Heisenberg algebra with maximal length uncertainty has recently been proven to induce strong quantum gravitational fields at the Planck scale (2022 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor.55 105303). In the present study, we use the position space representation on the one hand and the Fourier transform and its inverse representations on the other to construct propagators of path integrals within this deformed algebra. The propagators and the corresponding actions of a free particle and a simple harmonic oscillator are discussed as examples. Since the effects of quantum gravity are strong in this Euclidean space, we show that the actions which describe the classical trajectories of both systems are bounded by the ordinary ones of classical mechanics. This indicates that quantum gravity bends the paths of particles, allowing them to travel quickly from one point to another. It is numerically observed by the decrease in values of classical actions as one increases the quantum gravitational effects.
