  Within the framework of non-standard (Weyl) representations of the canonical
commutation relations, we investigate the polymer quantization of the Taub
cosmological model. The Taub model is analyzed within the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner
reduction of its dynamics, by which a time variable arises. While the energy
variable and its conjugate momentum are treated as ordinary Heisenberg
operators, the anisotropy variable and its conjugate momentum are represented
by the polymer technique. The model is analyzed at both classical and quantum
level. As a result, classical trajectories flatten with respect to the
potential wall, and the cosmological singularity is not probabilistically
removed. In fact, the dynamics of the wave packets is characterized by an
interference phenomenon, which, however, is not able to stop the evolution
towards the classical singularity.
