The effective dynamics of loop quantum gravity for marginally bound Lema\^itre-Tolman-Bondi spacetimes predict that the big-bang singularity is resolved and replaced by a cosmic bounce. Numerics show that these effective dynamics also…

We study the spherically symmetric collapse of a cloud of dust in VCDM, a class of gravitational theories with two local physical degrees of freedom. We find that the collapse corresponds to a particular foliation of the Oppenheimer-Snyder…

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…
