Singularity: Raychaudhuri Equation once again

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2011-05-06 v1 Astrophysics High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

I first recount Raychaudhuri's deep involvement with the singularity problem in general relativity. I then argue that precisely the same situation has arisen today in loop quantum cosmology as obtained when Raychaudhuri discovered his celebrated equation. We thus need a new analogue of the Raychaudhuri equation in quantum gravity.
