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 ...

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).

The Quantum Configuration Space of Loop Quantum Cosmology [PDF]

open access: yesClass.Quant.Grav.24:3745-3758,2007, 2007
The article gives an account of several aspects of the space known as the Bohr compactification of the line, featuring as the quantum configuration space in loop quantum cosmology, as well as of the corresponding configuration space realization of the so-called polymer representation.

Causal loop quantum cosmology in momentum space [PDF]

open access: yesInt.J.Mod.Phys.D18:83-93,2009, 2007
We shall show that it is possible to make a causal interpretation of loop quantum cosmology using the momentum as the dynamical variable. We shall show that one can derive Bohmian trajectories. For a sample cosmological solution with cosmological constant, the trajectory is plotted.

Enemies: uneasy accompaniments in late life Ennemis : accompagnements de fin de vie difficiles

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Against a phenomenological orientation to ageing as path or course, a contrastive frame is offered around a figure termed the enemy. Four distinctive ethnographic fragments are utilized: (1) a Polish‐Jewish migrant to Canada in her late eighties who listens continually to the radio and worries over the malign forces in the world that the radio ...

Inflation in loop quantum cosmology [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2018
We develop a consistent analytic approach to determine the conditions under which slow roll inflation can arise when the inflaton is the same scalar field that is responsible for the bounce in Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC).

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.

Purpose and Providence in Evolutionary Perspective: Considerations for Theological Anthropology in Light of Biocultural Evolution and Genetic Engineering

open access: yesThe Heythrop Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract We argue here that bringing insights from evolution and bioengineering to bear on traditional accounts of divine providence helps to illustrate just how complex providence is and how difficult it is to achieve. While other non‐human animals might exhibit greater agency in creation and its evolutionary development than has traditionally been ...

Observational Exclusion of a Consistent Quantum Cosmology Scenario

open access: yes, 2015
It is often argued that inflation erases all the information about what took place before it started. Quantum gravity, relevant in the Planck era, seems therefore mostly impossible to probe with cosmological observations.
