Scale-Dependent Gravity in Quantum Cosmology I: Singularity-Avoiding Sectors and Semiclassical Dynamics

We study an effective quantum cosmological model with a scale-dependent gravitational coupling G(a). Starting from a Newtonian cosmological construction inspired by a corrected two-body gravitational potential, we derive an effective Friedmann-type equation and quantize the corre...
