Living Reviews in Relativity, 2008 Quantum gravity is expected to be necessary in order to understand situations in which classical general relativity breaks down. In particular in cosmology one has to deal with initial singularities, i.e., the fact that the backward evolution of a ...

Loop quantum cosmology and singularities [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Loop quantum gravity is believed to eliminate singularities such as the big bang and big crunch singularity. This belief is based on studies of so-called loop quantum cosmology which concerns symmetry-reduced models of quantum gravity. In this paper, the

Mimetic gravity: mimicking the dynamics of the primeval universe in the context of loop quantum cosmology [PDF]
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019 Mimetic gravity can be described as a formulation capable of mimicking different evolutionary scenarios regarding the universe dynamics. Notwithstanding its initial aim of producing a similar evolution to the one expected from the dark components of the ...

Hybrid Loop Quantum Cosmology: An Overview [PDF]
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Loop Quantum Gravity is a nonperturbative and background independent program for the quantization of General Relativity. Its underlying formalism has been applied successfully to the study of cosmological spacetimes, both to test the principles and ...

Cosmic Tango Between the Very Small and the Very Large: Addressing CMB Anomalies Through Loop Quantum Cosmology [PDF]
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 While the standard, six-parameter, spatially flat ΛCDM model has been highly successful, certain anomalies in the cosmic microwave background bring out a tension between this model and observations.

Testing loop quantum cosmology [PDF]
, 2017 Loop quantum cosmology predicts that quantum gravity effects resolve the big-bang singularity and replace it by a cosmic bounce. Furthermore, loop quantum cosmology can also modify the form of primordial cosmological perturbations, for example by ...

Noncommutativity in Effective Loop Quantum Cosmology
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2019 We construct a noncommutative extension of the Loop Quantum Cosmology effective scheme for the flat FLRW model with a free scalar field via a theta deformation.

Generic absence of strong singularities and geodesic completeness in modified loop quantum cosmologies [PDF]
, 2019 Different regularizations of the Hamiltonian constraint in loop quantum cosmology yield modified loop quantum cosmologies, namely mLQC-I and mLQC-II, which lead to qualitatively different Planck scale physics.

Critical Evaluation of Common Claims in Loop Quantum Cosmology [PDF]
Universe, 2020 A large number of models have been analyzed in loop quantum cosmology, using mainly minisuperspace constructions and perturbations. At the same time, general physics principles from effective field theory and covariance have often been ignored.
