Exploring Quantum Cosmology within the Framework of Teleparallel $f(T)$-gravity
Abstract
We investigate quantum cosmology in teleparallel -gravity. We delve extensively into the minisuperspace description within the context of teleparallelism. The -theory constitutes a second-order theory of gravity, whose cosmological counterpart is delineated by a degenerate point-like Lagrangian. To formulate the Hamiltonian function encompassing all constraints and degrees of freedom inherent to cosmology, we employ the Dirac-Bergmann algorithm. Subsequently, we determine the wave function of the universe and introduce a ``probabilistic'' interpretation. We perform comparisons to some classical solutions to see to what extent the quantum approach can cure classical singularities.
