The article gives an account of several aspects of the space known as the Bohr compactification of the line, featuring as the quantum configuration space in loop quantum cosmology, as well as of the corresponding configuration space realization of the so-called polymer representation. Analogies with loop quantum gravity are explored, providing an introduction to (part of) the mathematical structure of loop quantum gravity, in a technically simpler context.

Polymer quantum mechanics on compact configuration spaces
Polymer quantization on compact spaces yields finite graph Hilbert spaces whose exact ring and box spectra recover Schrödinger QM as lattice spacing vanishes.
