Effective Field Theory of Loop Quantum Cosmology

open access: yesUniverse, 2019
Quantum cosmology is traditionally formulated in a minisuperspace setting, implicitly averaging fields over space to obtain homogeneous models. For universal reasons related to the uncertainty principle, quantum corrections then depend on the size of the

THE FATHERS, COMPUTERS AND US

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay, designed as a complement to opinions expressed by Rowan Williams and some speakers at the conference in his honour, explores features of early Christianity which suggest a positive evaluation of artificial intelligence. Noting that the fear of reducing humans to machines has been joined in the modern age by the fear that machines ...

Theism and Physical Cosmology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Physical cosmology purports to establish precise and testable claims about the origin of the universe. Thus, cosmology bears directly on traditional metaphysical claims -- in particular, claims about whether the universe has a creator (i.e. God).

Tachyonic inflation in loop quantum cosmology

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019
A tachyon field might be responsible for cosmological inflation at an early time and contribute to cosmological dark matter at a later time. We investigate tachyonic inflation by analyzing a tachyon field with different potentials in the framework of ...

Cosmic Tango Between the Very Small and the Very Large: Addressing CMB Anomalies Through Loop Quantum Cosmology

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Theologies of Mind: Eriugena and Pratyabhijñā Śaivism

open access: yesModern Theology, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 927-952, October 2026.
Abstract Though Eriugena's affinities with several Hindu traditions are clear, this article offers to my knowledge the first detailed discussion of Eriugena's theology in relation to any Indic theological school, here, the nondualist Śaiva tradition known as the Pratyabhijñā (“Recognition”) lineage.

Universal features of quantum bounce in loop quantum cosmology

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2017
In this Letter, we study analytically the evolutions of the flat Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) universe and its linear perturbations in the framework of the dressed metric approach in loop quantum cosmology (LQC). Assuming that the evolution

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).

Light‐Imprinted Chirality in Nanomaterials: From Principles to Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 49, 3 September 2026.
Light‐induced chirality represents a transformative paradigm for fabricating chiral nanostructures. This review provides a comprehensive framework encompassing light‐based strategies for imprinting and tuning chirality in nanomaterials, which guides researchers in harnessing light to create next‐generation functional materials.
