Loop quantum cosmology and singularities [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Loop quantum gravity is believed to eliminate singularities such as the big bang and big crunch singularity. This belief is based on studies of so-called loop quantum cosmology which concerns symmetry-reduced models of quantum gravity. In this paper, the

Living Reviews in Relativity, 2008 Quantum gravity is expected to be necessary in order to understand situations in which classical general relativity breaks down. In particular in cosmology one has to deal with initial singularities, i.e., the fact that the backward evolution of a ...

Hybrid Loop Quantum Cosmology: An Overview [PDF]
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Loop Quantum Gravity is a nonperturbative and background independent program for the quantization of General Relativity. Its underlying formalism has been applied successfully to the study of cosmological spacetimes, both to test the principles and ...

Minisuperspace quantum cosmology in f(Q) gravity [PDF]
The European Physical Journal C, 2023 f ( Q ) symmetric-teleparallel gravity is considered in view of quantum cosmology. Specifically, we derive cosmological equations for f ( Q ) models and then investigate the related energy conditions. In the Minisuperspace formalism, the point-like f ( Q

Non-Gaussianity in loop quantum cosmology [PDF]
, 2018 We extend the phenomenology of loop quantum cosmology (LQC) to second order in perturbations. Our motivation is twofold. On the one hand, since LQC predicts a cosmic bounce that takes place at the Planck scale, the second-order contributions could be ...

Noncommutativity in Effective Loop Quantum Cosmology
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2019 We construct a noncommutative extension of the Loop Quantum Cosmology effective scheme for the flat FLRW model with a free scalar field via a theta deformation.

Testing loop quantum cosmology [PDF]
, 2017 Loop quantum cosmology predicts that quantum gravity effects resolve the big-bang singularity and replace it by a cosmic bounce. Furthermore, loop quantum cosmology can also modify the form of primordial cosmological perturbations, for example by ...

Primordial black holes in loop quantum cosmology: the effect on the threshold [PDF]
Classical and quantum gravity, 2023 Primordial black holes form in the early Universe and constitute one of the most viable candidates for dark matter. The study of their formation process requires the determination of a critical energy density perturbation threshold δc , which in general ...

Inflation and Fractional Quantum Cosmology [PDF]
Fractal and Fractional, 2022 The Wheeler–DeWitt equation for a flat and compact Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker cosmology at the pre-inflation epoch is studied in the contexts of the standard and fractional quantum cosmology.
