Inflation in unimodular loop quantum cosmology

Steffen Gielen, Rita B. Neves

The paper investigates inflationary dynamics within unimodular loop quantum cosmology, using a geometrically defined unimodular time and deriving both analytical and numerical solu…

Boundary conditions and Hilbert spaces in no-roll quantum cosmology

Steffen Gielen

We construct Hilbert spaces for the minisuperspace quantum cosmology of a closed Universe in the limit of extreme slow-roll inflation, in which the scalar field is approximated as…

Cyclic Kruskal Universe: a quantum-corrected Schwarzschild black hole in unitary unimodular gravity

Steffen Gielen, Sofie Ried

We analyse the physical properties of an analytical, nonsingular quantum-corrected black hole solution recently derived in a minisuperspace model for unimodular gravity under the a…

Quantum Schwarzschild-(A)dS Black Holes: Unitarity and Singularity Resolution

Steffen Gielen, Sofie Ried

We consider the canonical quantisation of spherically symmetric spacetimes within unimodular gravity, leaving sign choices in the metric general enough to include both the interior…

Low-curvature quantum corrections from unitary evolution of de Sitter space

Steffen Gielen, Rita B. Neves

We study the quantum dynamics of de Sitter space formulated as a minisuperspace model with flat spatial hypersurfaces in unimodular gravity, both in the Wheeler-DeWitt approach and…

Black hole singularity resolution in unimodular gravity from unitarity

Steffen Gielen, Lucía Menéndez-Pidal

We study the quantum dynamics of an interior planar AdS (anti-de Sitter) black hole, requiring unitarity in the natural time coordinate conjugate to the cosmological "constant of m…
