A pr 1 99 5 Extrinsic time in quantum cosmology
نویسنده
چکیده
An extrinsic time is identified in most isotropic and homogeneous cosmological models by matching them with the ideal clock a parametrized system whose only “degree of freedom” is time -. Once this matching is established, the cosmological models are quantized in the same way as the ideal clock. The space of solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is turned out into a Hilbert space by inserting a time dependent operator in the inner product, yielding a unitary theory equivalent to the phase space reduced theory.

Contrary to an oft-made claim, there are observational distinctions between " many-worlds " quantum theories, in which the quantum state " branches " without collapsing, and " single-history " quantum theories, in which something like a single macroscopic history occurs through some process such as the continual collapse or reduction of the quantum state. The observational distinctions occur as...

Cosmic inflation is the only known mechanism with the potential to explain the very special initial conditions which are required at the early stages of the evolution of our universe. This article outlines my work with Joao Magueijo which attempts to construct an alternative mechanism based on a time-varying speed of light.

We elaborate on some recent results on a solution of the Hilbert-space problem in minisuperspace quantum cosmology and discuss the consequences of making the (geometry of the) Hilbert space of ordinary nonrelativistic quantum systems time-dependent. The latter reveals a remarkable similarity between Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity.

We consider quantum N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory interacting in a covariant way with N = 4 conformal supergravity. The induced large N effective action for such a theory is calculated on a dilaton-gravitational background using the conformal anomaly found via AdS/CFT correspondence. Considering such an effective action as a quantum correction to the classical gravity action we study quantum co...
