We present a loop quantization of the marginally bound Lema\^itre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) model, describing the gravitational collapse of pressureless dust in spherical symmetry. The full quantum LTB model is constructed as a collection of…

The cosmological constant $\Lambda$ used to be a freedom in Einstein's theory of general relativity, where one had a proclivity to set it to zero purely for convenience. The signs of $\Lambda$ or $\Lambda$ being zero would describe…

We formulate Friedmann's equations as second-order linear differential equations. This is done using techniques related to the Schwarzian derivative that selects the $\beta$-times $t_\beta:=\int^t a^{-2\beta}$, where $a$ is the scale…

We apply our tetrad-based approach for constructing spherically-symmetric solutions in general relativity to modelling a void, and compare it with the standard Lema\^itre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) formalism. In particular, we construct models for…

In this study, we address the inverse problem of recovering the Lam\'e parameters ($\lambda, \mu$) and the density $\rho$ of a medium from the Neumann-to-Dirichlet map for any dimension $d\geq 2$. This inverse problem finds its motivation…
