    On the Green's function and iterative solutions of Loop Quantum Cosmology

    Get PDF
    Here we shall find the green's function of the difference equation of loop quantum cosmology. To illustrate how to use it, we shall obtain an iterative solution for closed model and evaluate its corresponding Bohmian trajectory.Comment: To appear in General Relativity and Gravitatio

    Constraints Algebra and Equations of Motion in Bohmian Interpretation of Quantum Gravity

    Full text link
    It is shown that introducing the quantum effects using deBroglie--Bohm theory in the canonical formulation of gravity would change the constraints algebra. The new algebra is derived and shown that it is the clear projection of general coordinate transformations to the spatial and temporal diffeomorphisms. The quantum Einstein's equations are derived and it is shown that they are manifestly covariant under the above diffeomorphisms, as it would be.Comment: 9 journal page

    Pure Quantum Solutions of Bohmian Quantum Gravity

    Get PDF
    In this paper we have investigated the pure quantum solutions of Bohmian quantum gravity. By pure quantum solution we mean a solution in which the quantum potential cannot be ignored with respect to the classical potential, especially in Bohmian quantum gravity we are interested in the case where these two potentials are equal in their magnitude and in fact their sum is zero. Such a solutions are obtained both using the perturbation and using the linear field approximation.Comment: 10 pages, LaTe

    Conformal Transformations and Quantum Gravity

    Get PDF
    Recently\cite{BQG}, it was shown that quantum effects of matter could be identified with the conformal degree of freedom of the space-time metric. Accordingly, one can introduce quantum effects either by making a scale transformation (i.e. changing the metric), or by making a conformal transformation (i.e. changing all physical quantities). These two ways are investigated and compared. Also, it is argued that, the ultimate formulation of such a quantum gravity theory should be in the framework of the scalar-tensor theories.Comment: 8 pages, RevTe

    Scalar-Tensor Theories and Quantum Gravity

    Get PDF
    Recently, it was shown that the quantum effects of the matter, could be used to determine the conformal degree of freedom of the space-time metric. So both gravity and quantum are geometrical features. Gravity determines the causal structure of the space-time, while quantum determines the scale of the space-time. In this article, it is shown that it is possible to use the scalar-tensor framework to build a unified theory in which both quantum and gravitational effects are present.Comment: 12 pages, RevTe

    Causal loop quantum cosmology in momentum space

    Full text link
    We shall show that it is possible to make a causal interpretation of loop quantum cosmology using the momentum as the dynamical variable. We shall show that one can derive Bohmian trajectories. For a sample cosmological solution with cosmological constant, the trajectory is plotted.Comment: 21 pages, 2 figures. To appear in Int. J. Mod. Phys. D, 200
