Are loop quantum cosmos never singular?

Understand

A unified treatment of all known types of singularities for flat, isotropic and homogeneous spacetimes in the framework of loop quantum cosmology (LQC) is presented.

• These include bangs, crunches and all future singularities.
• Using effective spacetime description we perform a model independent general analysis of the properties of curvature, behavior of geodesics and strength of singularities.
• For illustration purposes a phenomenological model based analysis is also performed.
