A Nonlinear Quantum Model of the Friedmann Universe
نویسنده
چکیده
A discussion is given of the quantisation of a physical system with finite degrees of freedom subject to a Hamiltonian constraint by treating time as a constrained classical variable interacting with an unconstrained quantum state. This leads to a quantisation scheme that yields a Schrödinger-type equation which is in general nonlinear in evolution. Nevertheless it is compatible with the probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics and in particular the construction of a Hilbert space with a Euclidean norm is possible. The new scheme is applied to the quantisation of a Friedmann Universe with a massive scalar field whose dynamical behaviour is investigated numerically. PACS numbers: 04.60.Ds, 04.60.Kz

متن کاملHighly Excited Friedmann Universe
A highly excited Friedmann universe filled with a scalar field and radiation has been considered. On the basis of a direct solution to the quantum-mechanical problem with a well-defined time variable, it has been shown that such a universe can have features (energy density, scale factor, Hubble constant, density parameter, matter mass, equivalent number of baryons, age, dimensions of large-scal...
متن کاملPlacing limits on the spin-torsion fluctuation from the stability of Friedmann solution and COBE data
The gravitational stability of Friedmann metric with respect to homogeneous and isotropic perturbations in Einstein-Cartan cosmology is used together with the COBE data to place a limit on the spintorsion primordial density fluctuation.Cosmological perturbations in Bianchi type III models are shown to have no contributions from torsion at the early stages of the Universe.
