Minisuperspace models in M-theory

Abstract: We derive the full canonical formulation of the bosonic sector of 11-dimensional supergravity, and explicitly present the constraint algebra. We then compactify M-theory on a warped product of homogeneous spaces of constant curvature, and construct a minisuperspace of scale factors. First classical behaviour of the minisuperspace system is analysed, and then a quantum theory is constructed. It turns out that there similarities with the "pre-Big Bang" scenario in String Theory.
