A stochastic quasi-classical wavefunction of the Universe from the third quantization procedure
Abstract
(abbreviated) We study quantized solutions of WdW equation describing a closed FRW universe with a term and a set of massless scalar fields. We show that when in the natural units and the standard -vacuum state is considered, either wavefunction of the universe, , or its derivative with respect to the scale factor, , behave as random quasi-classical fields at sufficiently large values of , when or , respectively. Statistical r.m.s value of the wavefunction is proportional to the Hartle-Hawking wavefunction for a closed universe with a term. Alternatively, the behaviour of our system at large values of can be described in terms of a density matrix corresponding to a mixed state, which is directly determined by statistical properties of . It gives a non-trivial probability distribution over field velocities. We suppose that a similar behaviour of can be found in all models exhibiting copious production of excitations with respect to -vacuum state associated with classical trajectories at large values of . Thus, the third quantization procedure may provide a 'boundary condition' for classical solutions of WdW equation.
