Abstract

The loop quantum cosmology of the closed isotropic model is studied with special emphasis on a comparison with traditional results obtained in the Wheeler-DeWitt approach. This includes the relation of the dynamical initial conditions to boundary conditions such as the no-boundary or the tunneling proposal and a discussion of inflation from quantum cosmology.
