A new perspective on cosmology in Loop Quantum Gravity

Abstract

We present a new cosmological model derived from Loop Quantum Gravity. The\nformulation is based on a projection of the kinematical Hilbert space of the\nfull theory down to a subspace representing the proper arena for an\ninhomogeneous Bianchi I model. This procedure gives a direct link between the\nfull theory and its cosmological sector. The emerging quantum cosmological\nmodel represents a simplified arena on which the complete canonical\nquantization program can be tested. The achievements of this analysis could\nalso shed light on Loop Quantum Cosmology and its relation with the full\ntheory.\n
