Inflationary Cosmology and Oscillating Universes in Loop Quantum Cosmology
D. J. Mulryne, N. J. Nunes, R. Tavakol +1
We study oscillatory universes within the context of Loop Quantum Cosmology. We make a comparative study of flat and positively curved universes sourced by scalar fields with eithe…
Oscillatory Universes in Loop Quantum Cosmology and Initial Conditions for Inflation
James E. Lidsey, David J. Mulryne, N. J. Nunes +1
Positively-curved, oscillatory universes are studied within the context of Loop Quantum Cosmology subject to a consistent semi-classical treatment. The semi-classical effects are r…
The role of anisotropy and inhomogeneity in Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi collapse
Filipe C. Mena, Brien C. Nolan, Reza Tavakol
We study the effects of shear and density inhomogeneities in the formation of naked singularities in spherically symmetric dust space--times. We find that in general neither of the…
