We elaborate on some recent results on a solution of the Hilbert-space problem in minisuperspace quantum cosmology and discuss the consequences of making the (geometry of the) Hilbert space of ordinary nonrelativistic quantum systems time-dependent. The latter reveals a remarkable similarity between Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity.
متن کاملA pr 1 99 5 Extrinsic time in quantum cosmology
An extrinsic time is identified in most isotropic and homogeneous cosmological models by matching them with the ideal clock a parametrized system whose only “degree of freedom” is time -. Once this matching is established, the cosmological models are quantized in the same way as the ideal clock. The space of solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is turned out into a Hilbert space by insertin...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Quantum Fields in Cosmology: Comments on Selected Current Topics
Concepts of quantum open systems and ideas of correlation dynamics in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, as well as methods of closed-time-path effective action and influence functional in quantum field theory can be usefully applied for the analysis of quantum statistical processes in gravitation and cosmology. We raise a few conceptual questions and suggest some new directions of research ...
متن کاملThe Chern-Simons invariant as the natural time variable for classical and quantum cosmology
We propose that the Chern-Simons invariant of the Ashtekar-Sen connection is the natural internal time coordinate for classical and quantum cosmology. The reasons for this are a number of interesting properties of this functional, which we describe here. 1)It is a function on the gauge and diffeomorphism invariant configuration space, whose gradient is orthogonal to the two physical degrees of ...
متن کاملConceptual Issues, Foundational Questions and Quantum Cosmology
In this workshop rather diverging problems related to quantum gravity and quantum cosmology were discussed. Since it is almost impossible to summarize all these discussions in coherent and integrated expressions, in this report, I give a brief description of the content of each paper in order, with some additional comments on their backgrounds. In order to give a readable presentation, I classi...
