Nicolai Maps for Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We construct Nicolai maps for N=2N=2 supersymmetric extensions of minisuperspace models. It is shown that Nicolai maps exist for only a very restricted set of states. In the models considered these are the two states corresponding to the empty and the filled fermion sectors. The form of the Nicolai maps in these sectors is given explicitly, and it is shown that they have a natural stochastic interpretation. This result also suggests a probabilistic interpretation of the wave function.
