Thermodynamics in new model of loop quantum cosmology

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021
The thermodynamic properties of loop quantum cosmology (LQC) without considering the Lorentz term were established in Li and Zhu (Adv High Energy Phys 2009:905705, 2009).

Inhomogeneous Loop Quantum Cosmology: Hybrid Quantization of the Gowdy Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Gowdy cosmologies provide a suitable arena to further develop Loop Quantum Cosmology, allowing the presence of inhomogeneities. For the particular case of Gowdy spacetimes with the spatial topology of a three-torus and a content of linearly polarized

Supersymmetric minisuperspace models in self-dual loop quantum cosmology

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
In this paper, we study a class of symmetry reduced models of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 super- gravity using self-dual variables. It is based on a particular Ansatz for the gravitino field as proposed by D’Eath et al. We show that the essential part of the

DeWitt Boundary Condition in One-Loop Quantum Cosmology

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
DeWitt’s suggestion that the wave function of the universe should vanish at the classical Big Bang singularity is considered here within the framework of one-loop quantum cosmology.

Dynamical behavior of interacting dark energy in loop quantum cosmology

open access: yes, 2010
The dynamical behaviors of interacting dark energy in loop quantum cosmology are discussed in this paper. Based on defining three dimensionless variables, we simplify the equations of the fixed points.

Quantum Gravitational Non-Singular Tunneling Wavefunction Proposal

open access: yesPhysical Sciences Forum, 2023
It has recently been shown that the tunneling wavefunction proposal is consistent with loop quantum geometry corrections, including both holonomy and inverse scale factor corrections, in the gravitational part of a spatially closed isotropic model with a

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.

Semi-classical States, Effective Dynamics and Classical Emergence in Loop Quantum Cosmology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
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.

Restrictions on curved cosmologies in modified gravity from metric considerations

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2015
This study uses very simple symmetry and consistency considerations to put constraints on possible Friedmann equations for modified gravity models in curved spaces. As an example, it is applied to loop quantum cosmology.
