The Vacuum State of Primordial Fluctuations in Hybrid Loop Quantum Cosmology

open access: yesUniverse, 2018
We investigate the role played by the vacuum of the primordial fluctuations in hybrid Loop Quantum Cosmology. We consider scenarios where the inflaton potential is a mass term and the unperturbed quantum geometry is governed by the effective dynamics of ...

Loop Quantum Gravity Phenomenology: Linking Loops to Observational Physics

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2012
Research during the last decade demonstrates that effects originating on the Planck scale are currently being tested in multiple observational contexts.

Cyclic universe from Loop Quantum Gravity

open access: yes, 2015
We discuss how a cyclic model for the flat universe can be constructively derived from Loop Quantum Gravity. This model has a lower bounce, at small values of the scale factor, which shares many similarities with that of Loop Quantum Cosmology.

Preinflationary Dynamics of Power-Law Potential in Loop Quantum Cosmology †

open access: yesUniverse, 2018
In this article, I mainly discuss the dynamics of the pre-inflationary Universe for the potential V ( ϕ ) ∝ ϕ n with n = 5 / 3 in the context of loop quantum cosmology, in which the big bang singularity is resolved by a non ...

Quantum Cosmology

open access: yes, 2008
We give an introduction into quantum cosmology with emphasis on its conceptual parts. After a general motivation we review the formalism of canonical quantum gravity on which discussions of quantum cosmology are usually based.

Inflationary cosmology in modified gravity theories

open access: yes, 2015
We review inflationary cosmology in modified gravity such as $R^2$ gravity with its extensions in order to generalize the Starobinsky inflation model. In particular, we explore inflation realized by three kinds of effects: modification of gravity, the ...

Loop Quantum Gravity Vacuum with Nondegenerate Geometry

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2012
In loop quantum gravity, states of the gravitational field turn out to be excitations over a vacuum state that is sharply peaked on a degenerate spatial geometry.
