Cosmological perturbations in Hybrid Loop Quantum Cosmology: Mukhanov-Sasaki variables

Laura Castelló Gomar, Mikel Fernández-Méndez, Guillermo A. Mena Marugán +1

We study cosmological perturbations in the framework of Loop Quantum Cosmology, using a hybrid quantization approach and Mukhanov-Sasaki variables. The formulation in terms of thes…

Effective dynamics of scalar perturbations in a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime in Loop Quantum Cosmology

Mikel Fernández-Méndez, Guillermo A. Mena Marugán, Javier Olmedo

We study the evolution of a homogeneous and isotropic spacetime whose spatial sections have three-torus topology, coupled to a massless scalar field with small scalar perturbations…

Singularity avoidance in the hybrid quantization of the Gowdy model

Paula Tarrío, Mikel Fernández-Méndez, Guillermo A. Mena Marugán

One of the most remarkable phenomena in Loop Quantum Cosmology is that, at least for homogeneous cosmological models, the Big Bang is replaced with a Big Bounce that connects our u…

Hybrid quantization of an inflationary model: The flat case

Mikel Fernández-Méndez, Guillermo A. Mena Marugán, Javier Olmedo

We present a complete quantization of an approximately homogeneous and isotropic universe with small scalar perturbations. We consider the case in which the matter content is a min…

A complete hybrid quantization in inhomogeneous cosmology

Mikel Fernández-Méndez, Guillermo A. Mena Marugán, Javier Olmedo

A complete quantization of a homogeneous and isotropic spacetime with closed spatial sections coupled to a massive scalar field is provided, within the framework of Loop Quantum Co…

Hybrid quantization of an inflationary universe

Mikel Fernández-Méndez, Guillermo A. Mena Marugán, Javier Olmedo

We quantize to completion an inflationary universe with small inhomogeneities in the framework of loop quantum cosmology. The homogeneous setting consists of a massive scalar field…

Unique Fock quantization of scalar cosmological perturbations

Mikel Fernández-Méndez, Guillermo A. Mena Marugán, Javier Olmedo +1

We investigate the ambiguities in the Fock quantization of the scalar perturbations of a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker model with a massive scalar field as matter content. We…
