Degenerate Configurations, Singularities and the Non-Abelian Nature of Loop Quantum Gravity
Martin Bojowald
Degenerate geometrical configurations in quantum gravity are important to understand if the fate of classical singularities is to be revealed. However, not all degenerate configura…
Elements of Loop Quantum Cosmology
Martin Bojowald
The expansion of our universe, when followed backward in time, implies that it emerged from a phase of huge density, the big bang. These stages are so extreme that classical genera…
Asymptotic Properties of Difference Equations for Isotropic Loop Quantum Cosmology
Martin Bojowald, Adam Rej
In loop quantum cosmology, a difference equation for the wave function describes the evolution of a universe model. This is different from the differential equations that arise in…
Black hole evaporation: A paradigm
Abhay Ashtekar, Martin Bojowald
A paradigm describing black hole evaporation in non-perturbative quantum gravity is developed by combining two sets of detailed results: i) resolution of the Schwarzschild singular…
The Early Universe in Loop Quantum Cosmology
Martin Bojowald
Loop quantum cosmology applies techniques derived for a background independent quantization of general relativity to cosmological situations and draws conclusions for the very earl…
A black hole mass threshold from non-singular quantum gravitational collapse
Martin Bojowald, Rituparno Goswami, Roy Maartens +1
Quantum gravity is expected to remove the classical singularity that arises as the end-state of gravitational collapse. To investigate this, we work with a toy model of a collapsin…
