Beschreibung

Quantum cosmology has gradually emerged as the focus of devoted research, mostly within the second half of last century. As we entered the 21st century, the subject is still very much alive. The outcome of results and templates for investigation have been enlarged, some very recent and fascinating. Hence this book, where the authors bequeath some of their views, as they believe this current century is the one where quantum cosmology will be fully accomplished.

Though some aspects are not discussed (namely, supersymmetry or loop structures), there are perhaps a set of challenges that in the authors' opinion remain, some since the dawn of quantum mechanics and applications to cosmology. Others could have been selected, at the readers' discretion and opinion. The authors put herewith a chart and directions to explore, some of which they have worked on or aimed to work more, in the twilight of their current efforts. Their confidence is that someone will follow in their trails, venturing in discovering the proper answer, by being able to formulate the right questions beforehand. The authors' shared foresight is that such discoveries, from those formulations, will be attained upon endorsing the routes within the challenges herewith indicated.

Contents:

  • A Chart:
    • Introduction
    • A Reader's Digest
  • Settings:
    • Foliation of Space-Time and the Geometry of Closed 3-Manifolds
    • Hamiltonian Formulation of General Relativity
    • Minisuperspace Quantization and the Time Problem
  • Challenges:
    • Solutions: Multiplicity and Degeneracy
    • Fractional Quantum Cosmology
    • Quantum Chaos and Quantum Cosmology
    • Boundary Conditions from Algebraic Criteria

Key Features:

  • Approaches quantum cosmology through open challenges and problems, with a few technicalities
  • Provides a description of promising research directions
  • Suitable for those with some technical knowledge of quantum cosmology looking for a broad range of (sub)areas still to explore
