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]
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

Loop quantum cosmology: I. Kinematics [PDF]
The framework of quantum symmetry reduction is applied to loop quantum gravity with respect to transitively acting symmetry groups. This allows to test loop quantum gravity in a large class of minisuperspaces and to investigate its features - e.g.

Noncommutativity in Effective Loop Quantum Cosmology
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.

Loop quantum cosmology: Recent progress [PDF]
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 ...

On the physical Hilbert space of loop quantum cosmology [PDF]
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.

Semiclassical states, effective dynamics, and classical emergence in loop quantum cosmology [PDF]
We construct physical semi-classical states annihilated by the Hamiltonian constraint operator in the framework of loop quantum cosmology as a method of systematically determining the regime and validity of the semi-classical limit of the quantum theory.

Unveiling the evolution of rotating black holes in loop quantum cosmology [PDF]
In this work, we aim to discuss about the evolution of rotating black holes (RBHs) within the context of loop quantum cosmology. Here, the main part of our research work focuses on the impacts of angular momentum based rotating parameter and accretion ...

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 ...
