Bianchi Cosmologies: New Variables and a Hidden Supersymmetry

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We find a supersymmetrization of the Bianchi IX cosmology in terms of Ashtekar's new variables. This provides a framework for connecting the recent results of Graham and those of Ryan and Moncrief for quantum states of this model. These states are also related with the states obtained particularizing supergravity for a minisuperspace. Implications for the general theory are also briefly discussed.
