Ultraviolet dimensional reduction of spacetime with zero-point length
Vikramaditya Mondal
Among the many disparate approaches towards quantum gravity, the reduction of spacetime dimension in the ultraviolet regime is expected to be a common thread. The dimensionality of…
Bouncing with shear: Implications from quantum cosmology
Karthik Rajeev, Vikramaditya Mondal, Sumanta Chakraborty
We consider the introduction of anisotropy in a class of bouncing models of cosmology. The presence of anisotropy often spells doom on bouncing models, since the energy density due…
Einstein's special relativity from a space-time duality principle
Vikramaditya Mondal
Einstein based his special theory of relativity on two postulates: (a) physical laws appear the same in all inertial frames, and (b) the speed of light in vacuum is an observer-ind…
No-boundary Wave Function, Wheeler-DeWitt Equation and Path Integral Analysis of the Bouncing `Quantum' Cosmology
Karthik Rajeev, Vikramaditya Mondal, Sumanta Chakraborty
Bouncing models are alternatives to inflationary cosmology that replace the initial Big-Bang singularity by a `bouncing' phase. A deeper understanding of the initial conditions of…
