Quantum Gravity and the Large Scale Anomaly
arXiv:1501.06404 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2015/04/046
Abstract
The spectrum of primordial perturbations obtained by calculating the quantum gravitational corrections to the dynamics of scalar perturbations is compared with Planck 2013 and BICEP2/{\it Keck Array} public data. The quantum gravitational effects are calculated in the context of a Wheeler-De Witt approach and have quite distinctive features. We constrain the free parameters of the theory by comparison with observations.
17 pages, 3 figures; the analysis has been updated with the combined Planck-BICEP2/Keck Array public data. Final version, accepted for publication in JCAP
