In General
> s.a. friedmann equation [quantum gravity corrections];
quantum-cosmology phenomenology.
* Idea: Issues studied
include the possible emergence of an inflationary epoch from a quantum
gravity instanton–tunneling solution or a bounce, and the predictions
for the perturbation spectrum in various approaches to quantum gravity.
* Motivation:
Inflation has been used to try to avoid the initial Big-Bang singularity by giving bounce solutions.
