The goal of this article is to provide an overview of the current state of the art in loop quantum cosmology for three sets of audiences: young researchers interested in entering this area; the quantum gravity community in general; and, cosmologists who wish to apply loop quantum cosmology to probe modifications in the standard paradigm of the early universe. An effort has been made to streamline the material so that, as described at the end of section I, each of these communities can read only the sections they are most interested in, without a loss of continuity.

  1. Phase-resolved field-space distance criteria in ekpyrotic, bouncing and cyclic cosmologies

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Phase-resolved scalar distance bounds are derived for ekpyrotic, bouncing, and cyclic cosmologies, yielding a master condition that lower-bounds ε_ek from remaining distance after conversion and bounce.

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Phase-resolved field-space distance bounds for non-inflationary smoothing yield a master lower bound on ε_ek and imply ultra-fast-roll ekpyrosis or modified bounces to match observed red-tilted perturbations.

  3. Non-perturbative, background independent Fock representations for canonical quantum gravity

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Existence of separable Fock Hilbert spaces for background-independent non-perturbative quantization of general relativity.

  4. Phase-resolved field-space distance criteria in ekpyrotic, bouncing and cyclic cosmologies

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Proposes phase-resolved invariant path-length criteria and a master formula for lower bound on ε_ek in ekpyrotic cosmologies, using BKL suppression and conversion windows as constraints.

  5. Particle motions and gravitational waveforms in rotating black hole spacetimes of loop quantum gravity

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The LQG parameter ξ enlarges equatorial bound orbit energy ranges, confines off-equatorial trajectories, and produces larger deviations from Kerr waveforms in EMRI models for two rotating LQG black holes, though signa...

  6. Parameterized Post-Newtonian Analysis of Quadratic Gravity and Solar System Constraints

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quadratic gravity with Weyl-squared and Ricci-squared terms produces PPN parameters that equal their GR values except for exponentially decaying corrections, with gamma identically 1 when the two mode masses are equal...

  7. Dynamical systems analysis of an Einstein-Cartan ekpyrotic nonsingular bounce cosmology

    gr-qc 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    An Einstein-Cartan ekpyrotic model with a steep-to-plateau scalar potential supports a torsion-driven nonsingular bounce in homogeneous contraction without chaotic behavior in the explored parameter space.

  8. Universal Entanglement and an Information-Complete Quantum Theory

    physics.gen-ph 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Proposes the information-complete quantum theory (ICQT) as a framework for quantum gravity where universal spacetime-matter entanglement serves as the sole information carrier without classical systems.

  9. Polymer quantum mechanics on compact configuration spaces
