Abstract: We consider a quantization of the Bianchi IX cosmological model based on taking the constraint to be a self-adjoint operator in an auxiliary Hilbert space. Using a WKB-style self-consistent approximation, the constraint chosen is shown to have only continuous spectrum at zero. Nevertheless, the auxiliary space induces an inner product on the zero-eigenvalue generalized eigenstates such that the resulting physical Hilbert space has countably infinite dimension. In addition, a complete set of gauge-invariant operators on the physical space is constructed by integrating differential forms over the spacetime. The behavior of these operators indicates that this quantization preserves Wald's classical result that the Bianchi IX spacetimes expand to a maximum volume and then recollapse.
