Observational Exclusion of a Consistent Quantum Cosmology Scenario
, 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.

Lessons from Toy-Models for the Dynamics of Loop Quantum Gravity
Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2012 We review some approaches to the Hamiltonian dynamics of (loop) quantum gravity, the main issues being the regularization of the Hamiltonian and the continuum limit.

Quantum phenomenological gravitational dynamics: a general view from thermodynamics of spacetime
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 In this work we derive general quantum phenomenological equations of gravitational dynamics and analyse its features. The derivation uses the formalism developed in thermodynamics of spacetime and introduces low energy quantum gravity modifications to it.

Effects of underlying topology on quantum state discrimination
European Physical Journal C: Particles and FieldsIn this work, we show that quantum state discrimination can be modified due to a change in the underlying topology of a system. In particular, we explicitly demonstrate that the quantum state discrimination of systems with underlying discrete topology ...

Constraining the loop quantum gravity parameter space from phenomenology
Physics Letters B, 2018 Development of quantum gravity theories rarely takes inputs from experimental physics. In this letter, we take a small step towards correcting this by establishing a paradigm for incorporating putative quantum corrections, arising from canonical quantum ...

A quantum reduction to spherical symmetry in loop quantum gravity
Physics Letters B, 2015 Based on a recent purely geometric construction of observables for the spatial diffeomorphism constraint, we propose two distinct quantum reductions to spherical symmetry within full 3+1-dimensional loop quantum gravity.

Discrete Gravity Models and Loop Quantum Gravity: a Short Review
Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2012 We review the relation between Loop Quantum Gravity on a fixed graph and discrete models of gravity. We compare Regge and twisted geometries, and discuss discrete actions based on twisted geometries and on the discretization of the Plebanski action.

Quantization of Midisuperspace Models
Living Reviews in Relativity, 2010 We give a comprehensive review of the quantization of midisuperspace models. Though the main focus of the paper is on quantum aspects, we also provide an introduction to several classical points related to the definition of these models.
