Abstract
We examine the nature of the cosmological big-bounce (BB) transition within the loop geometry underlying Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC) at classical and quantum levels. Our canonical quantization method is an alternative to the standard LQC. Our method opens the door for analyzes of spectra of physical observables like energy density and volume operator. We find that one cannot determine the energy scale specific to BB by making use of the loop geometry without an extra input from observational cosmology.
