Relational Frame Equivalence and Exact Cosmology in Brans--Dicke Theory
Yaser Tavakoli
We apply the canonical clock-sector framework developed in Ref.~\cite{Tavakoli:2026coc} to spatially flat FLRW cosmology in Brans--Dicke theory. The aim is to obtain an explicit co…
Fermionic Backreaction on Quantum Spacetimes: Cosmological Implications
Y. Tavakoli, A. Khaleghi Ardabili, S. Mosaddegh
This article reviews a Hamiltonian framework for describing Dirac fermions propagating on quantum cosmological spacetimes within loop quantum cosmology. Expanding the fermionic fie…
Canonical Clock Sectors and Relational Frame Equivalence in Brans--Dicke Theory
Yaser Tavakoli, Jerzy Lewandowski
We investigate the equivalence of the Jordan and Einstein frames of the Brans--Dicke theory before and after relational deparametrization of the constrained Hamiltonian system. Alt…
Fermions in a loop quantum cosmological spacetime
Yaser Tavakoli, Ahad K. Ardabili, Sara Mosaddegh
We present a detailed Hamiltonian treatment of an inhomogeneous fermionic perturbation propagating on a closed FLRW spacetime quantized via LQC. Expanding the fermion in spinor har…
Constraining the quantum gravity polymer scale using LIGO data
Angel Garcia-Chung, Matthew F. Carney, James B. Mertens +3
We present the first empirical constraints on the polymer scale describing polymer quantized GWs propagating on a classical background. These constraints are determined from the po…
What do gravitational wave detectors say about polymer quantum effects?
Angel Garcia-Chung, Matthew F. Carney, James B. Mertens +3
We compute the expected response of detector arms of gravitational wave observatories to polymerized gravitational waves. The mathematical and theoretical features of these waves w…
