Wavefunction of a brane-like universe

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Within the mini-superspace model, brane-like cosmology means performing the variation with respect to the embedding (Minkowski) time au before fixing the cosmic (Einstein) time t. The departure from Einstein limit is parameterized by the 'energy' conjugate to au, and characterized by a classically disconnected Embryonic epoch. In contrast with canonical quantum gravity, the wave-function of the brane-like Universe is (i) au-dependent, and (ii) vanishes at the Big Bang. Hartle-Hawking and Linde proposals dictate discrete 'energy' levels, whereas Vilenkin proposal resembles alpha-particle disintegration.
