Loop quantum cosmology from group field theory
We show that the effective dynamics of the recently proposed isotropic condensate state of group field theory with Laplacian kinetic operator can be equivalent to that of homogeneous and isotropic loop quantum cosmology in the improved dynamics quantization scheme, where the area of elementary holonomy plaquettes is constant. This constitutes a somewhat surprising example of a cosmological mode...
متن کاملLoop quantum cosmology evolution operator of an FRW universe with a positive cosmological constant
The self-adjointness of an evolution operator corresponding to the model of the flat FRW universe with massless scalar field and cosmological constant quantized in the framework of loop quantum cosmology is studied in the case > 0. It is shown that, for < c 10:3‘ 2 Pl , the operator admits many self-adjoint extensions, each of the purely discrete spectrum. On the other hand for c the operator i...
متن کاملHamiltonian cosmological perturbation theory with loop quantum gravity corrections
Cosmological perturbation equations are derived systematically in a canonical scheme based on Ashtekar variables. A comparison with the covariant derivation and various subtleties in the calculation and choice of gauges are pointed out. Nevertheless, the treatment is more systematic when correction terms of canonical quantum gravity are to be included. This is done throughout the paper for one ...
متن کاملLoop Quantum Cosmology on a Torus
In this paper we study the effect of a torus topology on Loop Quantum Cosmology. We first derive the Teichmüller space parametrizing all possible tori using Thurston’s theorem and construct a Hamiltonian describing the dynamics of these torus universes. We then compute the Ashtekar variables for a slightly simplified torus such that the Gauss constraint can be solved easily. We perform a canoni...
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...
