A Revisit to Classical and Quantum aspects of Raychaudhuri equation and possible resolution of Singularity

arXiv:2402.17799

Abstract

In this review, we provide a concrete overview of the Raychaudhuri equation, Focusing theorem and Convergence conditions in a plethora of backgrounds and discuss the consequences. We also present various classical and quantum approaches suggested in the literature that could potentially mitigate the initial big-bang singularity and the black-hole singularity.
