abstract
We study the evolution of spatially flat Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker universe for chaotic and Starobinsky potentials in the framework of modified loop quantum cosmologies. These models result in a non-singular bounce as in loop quantum cosmology, but with far more complex modified Friedmann dynamics with higher order than quadratic terms in energy density. For the kinetic energy dominated bounce, we obtain analytical solutions using different approximations and compare with numerical evolution for various physical variables. The relative error turns out to be less than $0.3\%$ in the bounce regime for both of the potentials. Generic features of dynamics, shared with loop quantum cosmology, are established using analytical and numerical solutions. Detailed properties of three distinct phases in dynamics separating bounce regime, transition stage and inflationary phase are studied. For the potential energy dominated bounce, we qualitatively describe its generic features and confirm by simulations that they all lead to the desired slow-roll phase in the chaotic inflation. However, in the Starobinsky potential, the potential energy dominated bounce cannot give rise to any inflationary phase. Finally, we compute the probability for the desired slow-roll inflation to occur in the chaotic inflation and as in loop quantum cosmology, find a very large probability for the universe to undergo inflation.

Some physical implications of regularization ambiguities in SU(2) gauge-invariant loop quantum cosmology
In Thiemann-regularized loop quantum cosmology, the mu0 scheme produces pre-bounce emergent matter with equation of state w = -1/3 (string gas), while the bar-mu scheme produces an emergent cosmological constant, and ...

Quantum Damping of Cosmological Shear: A New Prediction from Loop Quantum Cosmologies
In mLQC-I, Bianchi I shear is claimed to decay exponentially after the bounce, producing isotropization independent of the matter content.

Effects of the ekpyrotic mechanism on inflationary phase in loop quantum cosmologies
In LQC and mLQC-I, tuned ekpyrotic-plus-inflation potentials can yield w>1 at the bounce and at least 60 e-folds of post-bounce inflation.

Power Law Plateau Inflation and Primary Gravitational Waves in the light of ACT
Power-law plateau inflation can sit inside the 1 sigma region of ACT DR6, but the reheating bound from gravitational waves forces the total number of e-folds N_k below about 62.
