Effective LQC model for k=+1 isotropic cosmologies from spatial discretisations
arXiv:2001.00031 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.102.106014
Abstract
The closed, spatially isotropic FLRW universe (k=+1) is endowed with modifications due to a discrete underlying space-structure. Motivated from Loop Quantum Gravity techniques, a full Thiemann regularisation is performed. The impact of these modifications of the single-graph-sector appearing in the scalar constraint are interpreted as physical quantum gravity effects. We investigate the form of the modified scalar constraint and its analytical approximations for k=+1 spacetimes and assume this effective constraint as the generator of dynamics on the reduced isotropic phase space. It transpires that the system still features a classical recollapse with only marginal discreteness corrections. Moreover, the initial and final singularities are resolved and we present an effective model mirroring the qualitative features of system.
