L'emergenza dello spazio-tempo nella gravità quantistica e nella cosmologia quantistica
Our best description of spacetime is provided by general relativity – yet, this theory is not thought to be fundamental. Instead, it is expected to be replaced by a theory of quantum gravity, which may not feature spacetime fundamentally.

Switching Internal Times and a New Perspective on the `Wave Function of the Universe’
Despite its importance in general relativity, a quantum notion of general covariance has not yet been established in quantum gravity and cosmology, where, given the a priori absence of coordinates, it is necessary to replace classical frames with ...

A Brief Introduction to Loop Quantum Cosmology [PDF]
In recent years, Loop Quantum Gravity has emerged as a solid candidate for a nonperturbative quantum theory of General Relativity. It is a background independent theory based on a description of the gravitational field in terms of holonomies and fluxes ...

On the propagation across the big bounce in an open quantum FLRW cosmology. [PDF]
The propagation of a scalar field in an open FLRW bounce-type quantum spacetime is examined, which arises within the framework of the IKKT matrix theory.

Does a Theory of Everything Exist?
Since Einstein’s failure to define a Grand Unified Theory, physicists have pursued a comprehensive theory explaining nature, a Theory of Everything. But because General Relativity, Quantum Field Theory, and Cosmology have little in common, defining one ...

Einstein and Rastall theories of gravitation in comparison
We profit by a recent paper of Visser claiming that Rastall gravity is equivalent to Einstein gravity to compare the two gravitational theories in a general way. Our conclusions are different from Visser’s ones.

$$f(\mathcal {G})$$ f(G) Noether cosmology
We develop the n-dimensional cosmology for $$f(\mathcal {G})$$ f(G) gravity, where $$\mathcal {G}$$ G is the Gauss–Bonnet topological invariant. Specifically, by the so-called Noether Symmetry Approach, we select $$f(\mathcal {G})\simeq \mathcal {G}^k ...

We have quantized a flat cosmological model in the context of the metric f(R) models, using the causal Bohmian quantum theory. The equations are solved and then we have obtained how the quantum corrections influence the classical equations.

Singularity: Raychaudhuri Equation once again [PDF]
I first recount Raychaudhuri's deep involvement with the singularity problem in general relativity. I then argue that precisely the same situation has arisen today in loop quantum cosmology as obtained when Raychaudhuri discovered his celebrated equation.
