Effective Hamiltonian for Isotropic Loop Quantum Cosmology

For a class of solutions of the fundamental difference equation of isotropic loop quantum cosmology, the difference equation can be replaced by a differential equation valid for {\em all} values of the triad variable. The differential equation admits a `unique' non-singular continuation through vanishing triad. A WKB approximation for the solutions leads to an effective continuum Hamiltonian. The effective dynamics is also non-singular (no big bang singularity) and approximates the classical dynamics for large volumes. The effective evolution is thus a more reliable model for further phenomenological implications of the small volume effects.

The Bianchi IX model in Loop Quantum Cosmology

The Bianchi IX model has been used often to investigate the structure close to singularities of general relativity. Its classical chaos is expected to have, via the BKL scenario, implications even for the approach to general inhomogeneous singularities. Thus, it is a popular model to test consequences of modifications to general relativity suggested by quantum theories of gravity. This paper presents a detailed proof that modifications coming from loop quantum gravity lead to a non-chaotic effective behavior. The way this is realized, independently of quantization ambiguities, suggests a new look at initial and final singularities.

Hubble operator in isotropic loop quantum cosmology

We present a construction of the Hubble operator for the spatially flat isotropic loop quantum cosmology. This operator is a Dirac observable on a subspace of the space of physical solutions. This subspace gets selected dynamically, requiring that its action be invariant on the physical solution space. As a simple illustrative application of the expectation value of the operator, we do find a generic phase of (super)inflation, a feature shown by Bojowald from the analysis of effective Friedmann equation of loop quantum cosmology.

Phenomenological equation of state and late-time cosmic acceleration

Assuming a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology with a single perfect fluid, we propose a pressure-density ratio that evolves as a specific universal function of the scale parameter. We show that such a ratio can indeed be consistent with several observational constraints including those pertaining to late-time accelerated expansion. Generic dynamical scalar field models of Dark energy (with quadratic kinetic terms in their Lagrange density) are shown to be in accord with the proposed equation-of-state ratio, provided the current matter density parameter $Ω_{m0} < 0.23$ - a value {\it not} in agreement with recent measurements.
