Affine Histories in Quantum Gravity: Introduction and the Representation for a Cosmological Model

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2008-11-26 v7

Abstract

It is shown how consistent histories quantum cosmology can be realised through Isham's Histories Projection Operator consistent histories scheme. This is done by using an affine algebra instead of a canonical one and also by using cocycle representations. A regularisation scheme allows us to find a history Hamiltonian which exists as a proper self-adjoint operator. The role of a cocycle choice is also discussed.
