Local boundary conditions for the Dirac operator and one-loop quantum cosmology.
This paper studies local boundary conditions for fermionic fields in quantum cosmology, originally introduced by Breitenlohner, Freedman and Hawking for gauged supergravity theories in anti-de Sitter space. For a spin2 field the conditions involve the normal to the boundary and the undifferentiated field. A first-order differential operator for this Euclidean boundary-value problem exists which...
متن کاملSpectral boundary conditions in one-loop quantum cosmology.
For fermionic fields on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary one has a choice between local and non-local (spectral) boundary conditions. The one-loop prefactor in the Hartle-Hawking amplitude in quantum cosmology can then be studied using the generalized Riemann ζ-function formed from the squared eigenvalues of the four-dimensional fermionic operators. For a massless Majorana spin2 fiel...
متن کاملLocal Supersymmetry in One-loop Quantum Cosmology
The contribution of physical degrees of freedom to the one-loop amplitudes of Euclidean supergravity is here evaluated in the case of flat Euclidean backgrounds bounded by a three-sphere, recently considered in perturbative quantum cosmology. In Euclidean supergravity, the spin-32 potential has the pair of independent spatial components ( ψ i , ψ̃ A′ i ) . Massless gravitinos are here subject to...
متن کاملLoop Quantum Cosmology and Boundary Proposals
For many years, the most active area of quantum cosmology has been the issue of choosing boundary conditions for the wave function of a universe. Recently, loop quantum cosmology, which is obtained from loop quantum gravity, has shed new light on this question. In this case, boundary conditions are not chosen by hand with some particular physical intuition in mind, but they are part of the dyna...
متن کاملLoop Quantum Cosmology, Boundary Proposals, and Inflation
Loop quantum cosmology of the closed isotropic model is studied with a special emphasis on a comparison with traditional results obtained in the Wheeler–DeWitt approach. This includes the relation of the dynamical initial conditions with boundary conditions such as the no-boundary or the tunneling proposal and a discussion of inflation from quantum cosmology.
