Description
A path integral formulation of the Bianchi I models containing a massless scalar field in loop quantum cosmology is constructed. Following the strategy used in the homogenous and isotropic case, the calculation is extended to the simplest non-isotropic models according to the μ-bar and μ-bar ' schemes. It is proved from the path integral angle that the quantum dynamic lacks the full invariance with respect to fiducial cell scaling in the μ-bar scheme, but it does not in the μ-bar ' scheme. The investigation affirms the equivalence of the canonical approach and the path integral approach in loop quantum cosmology. (paper)
