Loop Quantum Cosmology of non-diagonal Bianchi models

Abstract

The non-diagonal Bianchi models are studied in the loop framework for their classical and quantum formulation. The expressions of the Ashtekar-Barbero-Immirzi variables and their properties are found to provide a loop quantization of these models. In the special case of Bianchi I Universe, it is shown that the geometrical operators result invariant from the diagonal description. Hence, the kinematical Hilbert space of the non-diagonal Bianchi I model has similar features to the diagonal one.
