A stochastic quasi-classical wavefunction of the Universe from the third quantization procedure

Abstract: (abbreviated) We study quantized solutions of WdW equation describing a closed FRW universe with a

L a m b d a

term and a set of massless scalar fields. We show that when

L a m b d a l l 1

in the natural units and the standard

i n

-vacuum state is considered, either wavefunction of the universe,

P s i

, or its derivative with respect to the scale factor,

a

, behave as random quasi-classical fields at sufficiently large values of

a

, when

1 l l a l l e^{2 o v e r 3 L a m b d a}

or

a g g e^{2 o v e r 3 L a m b d a}

, respectively. Statistical r.m.s value of the wavefunction is proportional to the Hartle-Hawking wavefunction for a closed universe with a

L a m b d a

term. Alternatively, the behaviour of our system at large values of

a

can be described in terms of a density matrix corresponding to a mixed state, which is directly determined by statistical properties of

P s i

. It gives a non-trivial probability distribution over field velocities. We suppose that a similar behaviour of

P s i

can be found in all models exhibiting copious production of excitations with respect to

o u t

-vacuum state associated with classical trajectories at large values of

a

. Thus, the third quantization procedure may provide a 'boundary condition' for classical solutions of WdW equation.
