Difficulties with Recollapsing models in Closed Isotropic Loop Quantum Cosmology

arXiv:gr-qc/0408074 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.70.103502

Abstract

The use of techniques from loop quantum gravity for cosmological models may solve some difficult problems in quantum cosmology. The solutions under a number of circumstances have been well studied. We will analyse the behaviour of solutions in the closed model, focusing on the behaviour of a universe containing a massless scalar field. The asymptotic behaviour of the solutions is examined, and is used to determine requirements of the initial conditions.
