We study gravity coupled to a scalar field in spherical symmetry using loop quantum gravity techniques. Since this model has local degrees of freedom, one has to face ``the problem of dynamics'', that is, diffeomorphism and Hamiltonian…

Via K$\ddot{a}$hker polarization we geometrically quantize free fields in the spaces of motions, namely the space of solutions of equations of motion. We obtain the correct results just as that given by the canonical quantization. Since we…

In the framework of loop quantum gravity, we define a new Hilbert space of states which are solutions of a large number of components of the diffeomorphism constraint. On this Hilbert space, using the methods of Thiemann, we obtain a family…

A recently proposed version of mimetic gravity incorporates a limiting curvature into general relativity by means of a specific potential depending on the d'Alembertian of the scalar field. In the homogeneous and isotropic setting, the…
