Analytical approximation techniques in background loop quantum cosmology

In this report we present analytical approximation techniques to describe how a scalar field with an arbitrary potential evolves in the background of a quantum FLRW spacetime described by LQC. In general there is an initial phase of superinflation independent of the shape of the potential, then ther...
