Interaction of the Barbero--Immirzi Field with Matter and Pseudo-Scalar Perturbations
Simone Mercuri, Victor Taveras
In Loop Quantum Gravity the classical point of departure is the Einstein-Hilbert action modified by the addition of the so-called Holst term. Classically, this term does not affect…
Corrections to the Friedmann Equations from LQG for a Universe with a Free Scalar Field
Victor Taveras
In loop quantum cosmology the quantum dynamics is well understood. We approximate the full quantum dynamics in the infinite dimensional Hilbert space by projecting it on a finite d…
The Barbero-Immirzi Parameter as a Scalar Field: K-Inflation from Loop Quantum Gravity?
Victor Taveras, Nicolas Yunes
We consider a loop-quantum gravity inspired modification of general relativity, where the Holst action is generalized by making the Barbero-Immirzi (BI) parameter a scalar field, w…
Information is Not Lost in the Evaporation of 2-dimensional Black Holes
Abhay Ashtekar, Victor Taveras, Madhavan Varadarajan
We analyze Hawking evaporation of the Callen-Giddings-Harvey-Strominger (CGHS) black holes from a quantum geometry perspective and show that information is not lost, primarily beca…
