In this paper, we study a class of symmetry reduced models of $mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity using self-dual variables. It is based on a particular Ansatz for the gravitino field as proposed by DEath et al. We show that the essential part of the constraint algebra in the classical theory closes. In particular, the (graded) Poisson bracket between the left and right supersymmetry constraint reproduces the Hamiltonian constraint. For the quantum theory, we apply techniques from the manifestly supersymmetric approach to loop quantum supergravity, which yields a graded analog of the holonomy-flux algebra and a natural state space. We implement the remaining constraints in the quantum theory. For a certain subclass of these models, we show explicitly that the (graded) commutator of the supersymmetry constraints exactly reproduces the classical Poisson relations. In particular, the trace of the commutator of left and right supersymmetry constraints reproduces the Hamilton constraint operator. Finally, we consider the dynamics of the theory and compare it to a quantization using standard variables and standard minisuperspace techniques.

In a recent paper, we introduced a new discretization scheme for gravity in 2+1 dimensions. Starting from the continuum theory, this new scheme allowed us to rigorously obtain the discrete phase space of loop gravity, coupled to particle-like edge mo de degrees of freedom. In this work, we expand on that result by considering the most general choice of integration during the discretization process. We obtain a family of polarizations of the discrete phase space. In particular, one member of this family corresponds to the usual loop gravity phase space, while another corresponds to a new polarization, dual to the usual one in several ways. We study its properties, including the relevant constraints and the symmetries they generate. Furthermore, we motivate a relation between the dual polarization and teleparallel gravity.
We investigate the canonical quantization in the framework of N=1 simple supergravity for the case of a very simple gravitational midisuperspace described by Gowdy $T^3$ cosmological models. We consider supersymmetric quantum cosmology in the mention ed midisuperspace, where a matrix representation for the gravitino covector--spinor is used. The full Lorentz constraint and its implications for the wave function of the universe are analyzed in detail. We found that there are indeed physical states in the midisuperspace sector of the theory in contrast to the case of minisuperspace where there exist no physical states.
We develop a consistent analytic approach to determine the conditions under which slow roll inflation can arise when the inflaton is the same scalar field that is responsible for the bounce in Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC). We find that the requiremen t that the energy density of the field is fixed at the bounce having to match a critical density has important consequences for its future evolution. For a generic potential with a minimum, we find different scenarios depending on the initial velocity of the field and whether it begins life in a kinetic or potential energy dominated regime. For chaotic potentials that start in a kinetic dominated regime, we find an initial phase of superinflation independent of the shape of the potential followed by a damping phase which slows the inflaton down, forcing it to turnaround and naturally enter a phase of slow-roll inflation. If we begin in a potential energy dominated regime, then the field undergoes a period where the corrections present in LQC damp its evolution once again forcing it to turnaround and enter a phase of slow roll inflation. On the other hand we show for the Starobinsky potential that inflation never occurs when we begin in a potential dominated regime. In fact traditional Starobinsky inflation has to start in a kinetic energy dominated regime, with corresponding tighter constraints on the initial value of the field for successful inflation than in the conventional case. Comparing our analytic results to published numerical ones, we find remarkable agreement especially when we consider the different epochs that are involved. In particular the values of key observables obtained from the two approaches are in excellent agreement, opening up the possibility of obtaining analytic results for the evolution of the density perturbations in these models.
We study oscillatory universes within the context of Loop Quantum Cosmology. We make a comparative study of flat and positively curved universes sourced by scalar fields with either positive or negative potentials. We investigate how oscillating univ erses can set the initial conditions for successful slow-roll inflation, while ensuring that the semi-classical bounds are satisfied. We observe rich oscillatory dynamics with negative potentials, although it is difficult to respect the semi-classical bounds in models of this type.
