Abstract

In this paper, we study the effects of Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) and Modified Dispersion Relations (MDRs) on the thermodynamics of ultra-relativistic particles in early universe. We show that limitations imposed by GUP and particle horizon on the measurement processes, lead to certain modifications of early universe thermodynamics.
