Supersymmetric Quantum Cosmology ∗ — Shaken not stirred
نویسنده
چکیده
The canonical quantization of N = 1, 2 supergravity theories is reviewed throughout this report. Special emphasis is consigned to the topic of supersymmetric Bianchi class-A and FRW minisuperspaces, namely in the presence of supermatter fields. The quantization of the general theory (including supermatter) is also contemplated. The issue of quantum physical states is subsequently analysed. A discussion on worthy research problems still lingering for qualified solutions is included. A thoroughly bibliography concludes this review.

Shaken, not stirred: bioanalytical study of the antioxidant activities of martinis.
BACKGROUND Moderate consumption of alcoholic drinks seems to reduce the risks of developing cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cataracts, perhaps through antioxidant actions of their alcohol, flavonoid, or polyphenol contents. "Shaken, not stirred" routinely identifies the way the famous secret agent James Bond requires his martinis. OBJECTIVES As Mr Bond is not afflicted by cataracts or car...
متن کاملIsospectral Supersymmetry in Quantum Cosmology
Using as an illustrative example the p=1 operator-ordered Wheeler-DeWitt equation for a closed, radiation-filled Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe, we introduce and discuss the isospectral supersymmetric issue in quantum cosmology.
متن کاملSupersymmetric double Darboux method in quantum cosmology
Recently, extensive work has been devoted to generating quasi-isospectral potentials by the methods of supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSYQM) [1]. This work starts from the one dimensional (1D) Schrödinger equation with a given potential (called “bosonic” potential V−), whose “ground-state” (nodeless) wave function is known too. The method allows one to generate families of new potentials, w...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Cosmology and Dark Energy
Using the superfield approach we construct the n = 2 supersymmetric lagrangian for the FRW Universe with perfect fluid as matter fields. The obtained supersymmetric algebra allowed us to take the square root of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation and solve the corresponding quantum constraint. This model leads to the relation between the vacuum energy density and the energy density of the dust matter.
متن کاملHamilton-Jacobi Mechanics from Pseudo-Supersymmetry
For a general mechanical system, it is shown that each solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation defines an N = 2 pseudo-supersymmetric extension of the system, such that the usual relation of the momenta to Hamilton’s principal function is the ‘BPS’ condition for preservation of 1/2 pseudo-supersymmetry. The examples of the relativistic and nonrelativistic particle, in a general potential, are ...
