Transition from Big Crunch to Big Bang in Brane Cosmology
We consider a brane N = I × S0, where S0 is an ndimensional space form, not necessarily compact, in a SchwarzschildAdS(n+2) bulk N and prove that, for specific negative pressures on the brane, the brane is an ARW space. By reflecting N and N to N̂ and N̂ , the joint branes N ∪ N̂ can be naturally embedded as a C∞hypersurface in R2 ×S0, if n is odd and if ω = − n−1 2 is chosen, a value that corresp...
متن کاملQuantum Nature of the Big Bang in Loop Quantum Cosmology
A central feature of general relativity is that gravity is encoded in the very geometry of space-time. Loop quantum gravity is a non-perturbative approach to unifying general relativity with quantum physics while retaining this interplay between geometry and gravity [1, 2, 3]. There is no background space-time; matter as well as geometry are ‘quantum from birth’. Effects of quantum geometry are...
متن کاملTranscending Big Bang in Loop Quantum Cosmology: Recent Advances
We discuss the way non-perturbative quantization of cosmological spacetimes in loop quantum cosmology provides insights on the physics of Planck scale and the resolution of big bang singularity. In recent years, rigorous examination of mathematical and physical aspects of the quantum theory has led to a consistent quantization which is consistent and physically viable and some early ideas have ...
متن کاملQuantum Fields in a Big Crunch/Big Bang Spacetime
We consider quantum field theory on a spacetime representing the Big Crunch/Big Bang transition postulated in ekpyrotic or cyclic cosmologies. We show via several independent methods that an essentially unique matching rule holds connecting the incoming state, in which a single extra dimension shrinks to zero, to the outgoing state in which it re-expands at the same rate. For free fields in our...
متن کاملHomogeneous Loop Quantum Cosmology
Loop quantum cosmological methods are extended to homogeneous models in diagonalized form. It is shown that the diagonalization leads to a simplification of the volume operator such that its spectrum can be determined explicitly. This allows the calculation of composite operators, most importantly the Hamiltonian constraint. As an application the dynamics of the Bianchi I model is studied and i...
