Ordering-Independent Wheeler-DeWitt Equation for Flat Minisuperspace Models
Victor Franken, Eftychios Kaimakkamis, Hervé Partouche +1
We consider minisuperspace models with two-derivative kinetic terms, assuming a flat target space and a closed Universe. We show that, upon canonical quantization of the Hamiltonia…

Information-theoretic constraints in quantum gravity and cosmology
Victor Franken
In this dissertation, we review results on quantum information constraints in gravity that are relevant to cosmological models and demonstrate how this approach sheds light on cosm…

Tests of restricted Quantum Focusing and a new CFT bound
Victor Franken, Sami Kaya, François Rondeau +2
The restricted quantum focusing conjecture (rQFC) plays a central role in an axiomatic formulation of semiclassical gravity. Since much hinges on its validity, it is imperative to…
