States of low energy in bouncing inflationary scenarios in loop quantum cosmology

Mercedes Martin-Benito et al.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility of using states of low energy (SLEs) as vacua for cosmological perturbations in hybrid loop quantum cosmology. Two natural choices of smearing functions are identified within this context, with resulting power spectra at the end of inflation being insensitive to the exact shape and support of the smearing function. Preliminary analysis indicates good agreement with observations in terms of the tensor-to-scalar ratio and spectral index, similar to that of standard cosmology.

Non-oscillating power spectra in loop quantum cosmology

Beatriz Elizaga Navascues et al.

Summary: The paper analyzes the conditions necessary for a choice of vacuum state for cosmological perturbations to result in a power spectrum with no scale-dependent oscillations over time. Non-oscillating power spectra are considered optimal for gaining observational access to regimes near the bounce where loop quantum cosmology effects are significant. The study shows that non-oscillatory spectra can be consistently obtained using hyperbolic equations derived in the hybrid loop quantization approach.
