Anomaly freedom in effective Loop Quantum Cosmology refined: extended functional dependence of the counter-terms

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2025-10-28 v2

Abstract

Instead of assuming that they depend only on the background variables, we investigate the hypothesis that counter-terms appearing in the deformed algebra approach to loop quantum cosmology depend on the full phase-space variables. We derive the associated anomalies and solve the entire system in several specific cases. New restrictions on the generalized holonomy corrections are obtained.
