Semi-classical States in Homogeneous Loop Quantum Cosmology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Semi-classical states in homogeneous loop quantum cosmology (LQC) are constructed by two different ways. In the first approach, we firstly construct an exponentiated annihilation operator. Then a kind of semiclassical (coherent) state is obtained by solving the eigen-equation of that operator. Moreover, we use these coherent states to analyze the semiclassical limit of the quantum dynamics. It turns out that the Hamiltonian constraint operator employed currently in homogeneous LQC has correct classical limit with respect to the coherent states. In the second approach, the other kind of semi-classical state is derived from the mathematical construction of coherent states for compact Lie groups due to Hall.

Loop Quantum Cosmology
Quantum gravity is expected to be necessary in order to understand situations where classical general relativity breaks down. In particular in cosmology one has to deal with initial singularities, i.e., the fact that the backward evolution of a classical space-time inevitably comes to an end after a finite amount of proper time. This presents a breakdown of the classical picture and requires an...
متن کاملPhenomenological implications of an alternative Hamiltonian constraint for quantum cosmology
In this paper we review a model based on loop quantum cosmology that arises from a symmetry reduction of the self dual Plebanski action. In this formulation the symmetry reduction leads to a very simple Hamiltonian constraint that can be quantized explicitly in the framework of loop quantum cosmology. We investigate the phenomenological implications of this model in the semi-classical regime an...
متن کاملOn the Onset of Inflation in Loop Quantum Cosmology
Using a Liouville measure, similar to the one proposed recently by Gibbons and Turok, we investigate the probability that single-field inflation with a polynomial potential can last long enough to solve the shortcomings of the standard hot big bang model, within the semi-classical regime of loop quantum cosmology. We conclude that, for such a class of inflationary models and for natural values ...
متن کاملEffective State Metamorphosis in Semi-Classical Loop Quantum Cosmology
Modification to the behavior of geometrical density at short scales is a key result of loop quantum cosmology, responsible for an interesting phenomenology in the very early universe. We demonstrate the way matter with arbitrary scale factor dependence in Hamiltonian incorporates this change in its effective dynamics in the loop modified phase. For generic matter, the equation of state starts v...
متن کاملLoop Cosmology: Regularization vs. Quantization
It is argued that it is the regularization of the classical Hamiltonian—first step in loop cosmology in order to build a well-defined quantum theory—what is already able to avoid the Big Bang and Big Rip singularities, rather than the usually invoked quantum corrections coming from the quantization of the Hamiltonian. To prove such statement, the classical regularized Hamiltonian corresponding ...
