Non-singular Ekpyrotic/Cyclic model in Loop Quantum Cosmology
Thomas Cailleteau, Parampreet Singh, Kevin Vandersloot
We study the role of non-perturbative quantum gravity effects in the Ekpyrotic/Cyclic model using the effective framework of loop quantum cosmology in the presence of anisotropies.…
Magnetic Bianchi I Universe in Loop Quantum Cosmology
Roy Maartens, Kevin Vandersloot
We examine the dynamical consequences of homogeneous cosmological magnetic fields in the framework of loop quantum cosmology. We show that a big-bounce occurs in a collapsing magne…
Stability of the Schwarzschild Interior in Loop Quantum Gravity
Christian G. Boehmer, Kevin Vandersloot
In recent work, the Schwarzschild interior of a black hole was investigated, incorporating quantum gravitational modifications due to loop quantum gravity. The central Schwarzschil…
Singularities in loop quantum cosmology
Thomas Cailleteau, Antonio Cardoso, Kevin Vandersloot +1
We show that simple scalar field models can give rise to curvature singularities in the effective Friedmann dynamics of Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC). We find singular solutions for…
Cosmological Plebanski theory
Karim Noui, Alejandro Perez, Kevin Vandersloot
We consider the cosmological symmetry reduction of the Plebanski action as a toy-model to explore, in this simple framework, some issues related to loop quantum gravity and spin-fo…
Loop Quantum Dynamics of the Schwarzschild Interior
Christian G. Boehmer, Kevin Vandersloot
We examine the Schwarzschild interior of a black hole, incorporating quantum gravitational modifications due to loop quantum gravity. We consider an improved loop quantization usin…
