abstract

Perfect fluid Friedmann-Robertson-Walker quantum cosmological models for an arbitrary barotropic equation of state $p = \alpha\rho$ are constructed using Schutz's variational formalism. In this approach the notion of time can be recovered. By superposition of stationary states, finite-norm wave-packet solutions to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation are found. The behaviour of the scale factor is studied by applying the many-worlds and the ontological interpretations of quantum mechanics. Singularity-free models are obtained for $\alpha < 1$. Accelerated expansion at present requires $- 1/3 > \alpha > - 1$.

  1. Exact path integrals on half-line in quantum cosmology with a fluid clock and aspects of operator ordering ambiguity

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For minisuperspace dimension D>2 with a fluid clock, adding a specific curvature term makes physical predictions independent of a large class of operator orderings; in D=1 the ambiguity remains.
