Abstract

This work summarises recent progress obtained by the mini-superpspace quantization of N=1\mathcal N=1, d=4d=4 supergravity, formulated in the framework of the Bianchi IX cosmological model. The emphasis is put on three main results : the completeness of the solution space obtained, the elements suggesting a hidden Kac-Moody structure of the theory and those leading to conjecture an avoidance of the cosmological singularity by some branches of the wave function of the Universe.
