TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that this modification of the uncertainty principle can be derived straightforwardly from the geometric properties of (anti-de Sitter) spacetime, and the connection between the so-called extended generalized uncertainty principle and triply special relativity was discussed.
Abstract: It has been proposed that on (anti)-de Sitter background, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle should be modified by the introduction of a term proportional to the cosmological constant. We show that this modification of the uncertainty principle can be derived straightforwardly from the geometric properties of (anti)-de Sitter spacetime. We also discuss the connection between the so-called extended generalized uncertainty principle and triply special relativity.

TL;DR: In this article, the prima facie conflict between special relativity and the quantum-mechanical collapse postulate is only apparent, and the seemingly incompatible accounts of entangled systems undergoing collapse yielded by different reference frames can be regarded as no more than differing accounts of the same processes and events.
Abstract: In this paper, it is argued that the prima facie conflict between special relativity and the quantum-mechanical collapse postulate is only apparent, and that the seemingly incompatible accounts of entangled systems undergoing collapse yielded by different reference frames can be regarded as no more than differing accounts of the same processes and events. Attention to the transformation properties of quantum-mechanical states undergoing unitary, non-collapse evolution points the way to a treatment of collapse evolution consistent with the demands of relativity.
