Abstract: (arXiv)
The set of homogeneous isotropic connections, as used in loop quantum cosmology, forms a line in the space of all connections . This embedding, however, does not continuously extend to an embedding of the configuration space of homogeneous isotropic loop quantum cosmology into that of loop quantum gravity, . This follows from the fact that the parallel transports for general, non-straight paths in the base manifold do not depend almost periodically on . Analogous results are given for the anisotropic case.- quantum cosmology: loop space
- quantum gravity: loop space
- cosmological model
- Hamiltonian formalism
- fibre bundle: SU(2)
- energy
- phase space
- differential equations
- embedding
