Modified commutators are not sufficient to determine a quantum gravity minimal length scale

In quantum gravity it is generally thought that a modified commutator of the form [xˆ,pˆ]=iħ(1+βp2) is sufficient to give rise to a minimum length scale. We test this assumption and find that different pairs of modified operators can lead to the same modified commutator and yet give different or eve...
