Inflationary universe in loop quantum cosmology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Loop quantum cosmology provides a nice solution of avoiding the big bang singularity through a big bounce mechanism in the high energy region. In loop quantum cosmology an inflationary universe is emergent after the big bounce, no matter what matter component is filled in the universe. A super-inflation phase without phantom matter will appear in a certain way in the initial stage after the bounce; then the universe will undergo a normal inflation stage. We discuss the condition of inflation in detail in this framework. Also, for slow-roll inflation, we expect the imprint from the effects of the loop quantum cosmology should be left in the primordial perturbation power spectrum. However, we show that this imprint is too weak to be observed.

A Note on Cosmology and Loop Quantum Gravity *
One possible description of the very early stages of the evolution of the universe is provided by chaotic inflationary models for which the role of the phenomenological inflaton field is played by quantum gravitational effects. We argue that simple non perturbative calculation supporting and establishing that kind of scenario may be possible within the framework of loop quantum gravity. This ap...
متن کاملPrimordial density perturbation in effective loop quantum cosmology
It is widely believed that a quantum field fluctuation in an inflating background creates the primeval seed perturbation which through subsequent evolution leads to the observed large-scale structure of the universe. The standard inflationary scenario produces a scale-invariant power spectrum quite generically but it produces, unless fine tuned, too large an amplitude for the primordial density...
متن کاملInflationary Solutions in Quantum Cosmology
We prove that in the Hartle-Hawking approach to quantum cosmology the existence of an inflationary phase is a general property of minisuperspace models given by a closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe containing a massless scalar field with a λφ self-interaction. The evolution in time of the cosmic scale factor and of the scalar field in the very early universe is derived, together with th...
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 کاملQuantum Cosmology and the Structure of Inflationary Universe
In this review I will consider several different issues related to inflation. I will begin with the wave function of the Universe. This issue is pretty old, but recently there were some new insights based on the theory of the self-reproducing inflationary universe. Then we will discuss stationarity of inflationary universe and the possibility to make predictions in the context of quantum cosmol...
