Loop Quantum Cosmology: Recent Progress

open access: yes, 2004
Aspects of the full theory of loop quantum gravity can be studied in a simpler context by reducing to symmetric models like cosmological ones. This leads to several applications where loop effects play a significant role when one is sensitive to the ...

Brane-world gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The observable universe could be a 1+3-surface (the "brane") embedded in a 1+3+d-dimensional spacetime (the "bulk"), with standard-model particles and fields trapped on the brane while gravity is free to access the bulk.

A no-singularity scenario in loop quantum gravity

open access: yes, 2012
Canonical methods allow the derivation of effective gravitational actions from the behavior of space-time deformations reflecting general covariance.

Loop Quantum Cosmology, Boundary Proposals, and Inflation

open access: yes, 2003
Loop quantum cosmology of the closed isotropic model is studied with a special emphasis on a comparison with traditional results obtained in the Wheeler-DeWitt approach.

Unimodular Loop Quantum Cosmology

open access: yes, 2010
Unimodular gravity is based on a modification of the usual Einstein-Hilbert action that allows one to recover general relativity with a dynamical cosmological constant.

On the Physical Hilbert Space of Loop Quantum Cosmology

open access: yes, 2004
In this paper we present a model of Riemannian loop quantum cosmology with a self-adjoint quantum scalar constraint. The physical Hilbert space is constructed using refined algebraic quantization.

On Higher Order Gravities, Their Analogy to GR, and Dimensional Dependent Version of Duff's Trace Anomaly Relation

open access: yes, 2005
An almost brief, though lengthy, review introduction about the long history of higher order gravities and their applications, as employed in the literature, is provided.

Loop quantum gravity: the first twenty five years

open access: yes, 2011
This is a review paper invited by the journal "Classical ad Quantum Gravity" for a "Cluster Issue" on approaches to quantum gravity. I give a synthetic presentation of loop gravity. I spell-out the aims of the theory and compare the results obtained with

Can black holes be torn up by phantom dark energy in cyclic cosmology?

open access: yes, 2009
Infinitely cyclic cosmology is often frustrated by the black hole problem. It has been speculated that this obstacle in cyclic cosmology can be removed by taking into account a peculiar cyclic model derived from loop quantum cosmology or the braneworld ...
