Is the diagonal case a general picture for Loop Quantum Cosmology?

Abstract

The correct implementation of the Loop Quantum Gravity to the early homogeneous Universe has been the subject of a long debate in the literature because the SU(2) symmetry cannot be properly retained. The role of this symmetry is expressed by the Gauss constraint. Here, a non-vanishing Gauss constraint is found. However, we show that using suitable variables, it can be recast into three Abelian constraints, justifying the absence of such a symmetry in Loop Quantum Cosmology.
