TL;DR
This paper explores whether quantum cosmology can prevent the big freeze singularity predicted by certain dark energy models, using the framework of quantum geometrodynamics.
Contribution
It investigates the potential quantum mechanisms within quantum geometrodynamics to avoid the big freeze singularity.
Findings
Quantum effects may prevent the big freeze in certain dark energy models.
Quantum geometrodynamics provides a framework to analyze singularity avoidance.
The study offers insights into quantum cosmological resolutions of future singularities.
Abstract
The big freeze is a singularity that shows up in some dark energy models. We address here its possible avoidance in quantum cosmology, more precisely in the framework of quantum geometrodynamics.
