Abstract: In the study of loop quantum gravity and of models based on noncommutative geometry, there has been strong interest in some candidate modifications of the energy-momentum dispersion relation. In this paper we consider the effects of modified dispersion relation (MDR) on the thermodynamics of black-body radiation. We find a generalized Planck distribution and then apply it to find generalized Stefan–Boltzmann and generalized Wien’s law. As a consequence, we study the effects of these modifications on the entropy and specific heat of black-body radiation. We investigate also the relation between our findings and the results of E-infinity theory by considering distribution and temperature of cosmic microwave background radiation.
