Quantum Cosmology
Abstract
Description
We comment on two issues in quantum cosmology, in the context of the Wheeler-De Witt equation and wave function of the Universe: (i) arrow of time and interpretation of the wave function in the classically allowed regions; (ii) stability of an approximation of the Born-Oppenheimer type in classically forbidden regions of the scale factor.
