DOI: 10.1007/s10714-018-2413-1
Abstract: We compute the predictions for the power spectrum of scalar perturbations from a recent new proposal for the effective Hamiltonian of loop quantum cosmology. The model provides an attractive picture of the early cosmos, in… read more here.

Loop quantum cosmology and singularities

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-06616-y
Abstract: 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.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6382/ab514c
Abstract: Loop quantum cosmology is a symmetry-reduced application of loop quantum gravity that has led to the resolution of classical singularities such as the big bang, and those at the center of black holes. This can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6382/ab6038
Abstract: A Kantowski-Sachs model with a modified quantization prescription is considered. Such quantization rules, inspired by the so-called Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP), correspond to a modified commutation relation between minisuperspace variables and their conjugate momenta. For… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6382/ac0a88
Abstract: The scope of this paper is to compare two different approaches for solving the Wheeler–DeWitt (WDW) equation in the presence of homogeneous matter (inflaton) and perturbations around it. The standard Born–Oppenheimer (BO) decomposition, which consists… read more here.

Abstract: We employ the methods of discrete (Lorentzian) Regge calculus for analysing Lorentzian quantum cosmology models with a special focus on discrete analogues of the no-boundary proposal for the early universe. We use a simple four-polytope,… read more here.

Abstract: Quantum cosmology is investigated in a de Sitter minisuperspace model with a quantized scalar field non-minimally coupled to curvature. Quantum states of the scalar field must satisfy the regularity condition, which requires that the probability… read more here.

Abstract: We consider the introduction of anisotropy in a class of bouncing models of cosmology. The presence of anisotropy often spells doom on bouncing models, since the energy density due to the anisotropic stress outweighs that… read more here.
