The Steep Price of No Hair in a Modified Loop Quantum Cosmology

Meysam Motaharfar, Parampreet Singh

A modified version of loop quantum cosmology model, the so-called mLQC-I, motivated by Thiemann's regularization of the Hamiltonian constraint, leads to the resolution of the big b…

Quantum Cosmology in Krylov Space: Complexity and Entropy

Meysam Motaharfar, Maxwell R. Siebersma, Parampreet Singh

We study the quantum dynamics in Krylov space of a spatially flat, homogeneous, and isotropic universe sourced with a massless scalar field within Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) quantum cosm…

Echoes of Love Beyond the Horizon: A Bridge to Recovering Information from Black Holes

Meysam Motaharfar, Parampreet Singh

We provide further evidence that information is preserved during black hole evaporation and may be recoverable, provided quantum gravitational effects resolve the singularity. We d…

Love Numbers of Covariant Loop Quantum Black Holes

Meysam Motaharfar, Parampreet Singh

We investigate the linear static response of three covariant loop quantum black holes, namely, the two models proposed by Zhang, Lewandowski, Ma, and Yang (ZLMY) and the Alonso-Bar…

Loop Quantum Gravitational Signatures via Love Numbers

Meysam Motaharfar, Parampreet Singh

Loop quantum gravitational effects can resolve the central singularity of black holes while potentially leaving tiny traces of quantization in the exterior spacetime. We show the w…

Anisotropic non-singular quantum bounce as a seesaw and amplification mechanism for magnetic fields

Meysam Motaharfar, Parampreet Singh

We investigate the evolution of a homogeneous magnetic field within Bianchi-I loop quantum cosmology, in which the big bang singularity is replaced with an anisotropic quantum boun…

Constraining regularization ambiguities in Loop Quantum Cosmology via CMB

Bao-Fei Li, Meysam Motaharfar, Parampreet Singh

In order to investigate the potential observational signals of different regularization ambiguities in loop quantum cosmological models, we systematically compute and compare the p…

On the classicality and uniqueness in loop quantization of Bianchi-I spacetimes

Meysam Motaharfar, Parampreet Singh, Eklavya Thareja

In loop quantum cosmology, ambiguities in the Hamiltonian constraint can result in models with varying phenomenological predictions. In the homogeneous isotropic models, these ambi…

Quantum gravitational non-singular tunneling wavefunction proposal

Meysam Motaharfar, Parampreet Singh

It was recently shown that tunneling wavefunction proposal is consistent with loop quantum geometry corrections including both holonomy and inverse scale factor corrections in the…

Recent developments in warm inflation

Vahid Kamali, Meysam Motaharfar, Rudnei O. Ramos

Warm inflation, its different particle physics model implementations and the implications of dissipative particle production for its cosmology are reviewed. First, we briefly prese…

Tunneling wavefunction proposal with loop quantum geometry effects

Meysam Motaharfar, Parampreet Singh

In Vilenkin's tunneling wavefunction proposal our expanding universe is born via a tunneling through a barrier from nothing at the zero scale factor. We explore the viability of th…

Dirac-Born-Infeld warm inflation realization in the strong dissipation regime

Meysam Motaharfar, Rudnei O. Ramos

We consider warm inflation with a Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) kinetic term in which both the nonequilibrium dissipative particle production and the sound speed parameter slow the motio…

On the role of dissipative effects in the quantum gravitational onset of warm Starobinsky inflation in a closed universe

Meysam Motaharfar, Parampreet Singh

A problematic feature of low energy scale inflationary models, such as Starobinsky inflation, in a spatially closed universe is the occurrence of a recollapse and a big crunch sing…

Warm brane inflation with an exponential potential: A consistent realization away from the swampland

Vahid Kamali, Meysam Motaharfar, Rudnei O. Ramos

It has very recently been realized that coupling branes to higher dimensional quantum gravity theories and considering the consistency of what lives on the branes, one is able to u…

Warm inflation as a way out of the swampland

Meysam Motaharfar, Vahid Kamali, Rudnei O. Ramos

We discuss how dissipative effects and the presence of a thermal radiation bath, which are inherent characteristics of the warm inflation dynamics, can evade the recently proposed…

Warm Higgs G-inflation: predictions and constraints from Planck 2015 likelihood

Maysam Motaharfar, Erfan Massaeli, Hamid Reza Sepangi

We reconsider a recently proposed warm G-inflation scenario in which the Galileon scalar field concurrently dissipates its kinetic energy as the radiation fluid throughout inflatio…
