Mimetic gravity: mimicking the dynamics of the primeval universe in the
  context of loop quantum cosmology
  Mimetic gravity can be described as a formulation capable of mimicking
different evolutionary scenarios regarding the universe dynamics.
Notwithstanding its initial aim of producing a similar evolution to the one
expected from the dark components of the standard cosmology, a recent
association with loop quantum cosmology could also provide interesting results.
In this work, we reinterpret the physics behind the curvature potential of
mimetic gravity description of loop quantum cosmology. Furthermore, we also
test the compatibility of our formulation for a Higgs-type field, proving that
the mimetic curvature potential can mimic the dynamics from a Higgs
inflationary model. Additionally, we discuss possible scenarios that emerge
from the relationship between matter and mimetic curvature and, within certain
limits, describe results for the primeval universe dynamics obtained by other
authors.
