Quantum particle behavior in classically singular spacetimes

arXiv:1006.3743

Abstract

We review the classical and quantum singularity structure of a broad class of spacetimes with asymptotically power-law behavior near the origin. Quantum considerations "heal" a large class of scalar curvature singularities.
