We construct a cosmological model from the inception of the Friedmann-Lem\^aitre-Robertson-Walker metric into the field equations of the f(R,L_m) gravity theory, with R being the Ricci scalar and L_m being the matter lagrangian density. The…
The Gowdy cosmologies provide a suitable arena to further develop Loop Quantum Cosmology, allowing the presence of inhomogeneities. For the particular case of Gowdy spacetimes with the spatial topology of a three-torus and a content of…
The Gowdy cosmologies are vacuum solutions to the Einstein equations which possess two space-like Killing vectors and whose spatial sections are compact. We consider the simplest of these cosmological models: the case where the spatial…
