N2 - The cosmological implications of introducing a variation to the fine structure ‘constant’, α are examined within the context of loop quantum cosmology. The evolution of α is described using the model introduced by Bekenstein, Sandvik, Barrow and Magueijo, in which a ghost scalar field produces the variation. The dynamics of the system are examined in flat and closed cosmological settings. Matter consisting of the scalar field and radiation are examined with a thermodynamically motivated coupling between the two, which can lead to a series of bounces induced by both the negative density effects of the ghost field and the loop effects.
