We consider the possibility that the Universe is made of a dark fluid described by a quadratic
equation of state P= K ρ 2, where ρ is the rest-mass density and K is a constant. The energy …

This paper is an evolution of “Oops for the Loops”. As such it overlaps and repeats the first
few sections of the original paper, and then, adds a new section, demonstrating the issues …

In this study, we delve into the observational implications of rotating Loop Quantum Black
Holes (LQBHs) within an astrophysical framework. We employ semi-analytical General …

One of remarkable features of loop quantum gravity (LQG) is that it can provide resolutions
to both the black hole and big bang singularities. In the mini-superspace approach based on …

This paper results from work done on the multi-fold theory which resulted in a proposal for
quantum gravity. In a multi-fold universe, gravity emerges from entanglement through the …

Loop quantum cosmology predicts that quantum gravity effects resolve the big-bang
singularity and replace it by a cosmic bounce. Furthermore, loop quantum cosmology can …

An impressive feature of loop quantum gravity (LQG) is that it can elegantly resolve both the
big bang and black hole singularities. By using the Newman-Janis algorithm, a regular and …

The self-dual spacetime was derived from the mini-superspace approach, based on the
polymerization quantization procedure in loop quantum gravity (LQG). Its deviation from the …

We investigate the preinflationary dynamics of inflation with the Starobinsky potential,
favored by recent data from the Planck mission, using techniques developed to study …

The polymer quantization of cosmological backgrounds provides an alternative path to the
original Wheeler-de Witt (WdW) quantum cosmology, based on a different representation the …
