This embedding, however, does not continuously extend to an embedding of the configuration space $\\overline l$ of homogeneous isotropic loop quantum cosmology into that of loop quantum gravity, $\\overline{\\cal A}$. This follows from the fact that the parallel transports for general, non-straight paths in the base manifold do not depend almost periodically on $l$. Analogous results are given for the anisotropic case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-04-24T16:10:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34C27", "53C05", "83F05" ], "keywords": [ "homogeneous loop quantum cosmology", "loop quantum gravity", "configuration space", "homogeneous isotropic loop quantum cosmology", "connections" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 760520, "adsabs": "2007arXiv0709.1621B" } } }
