On the cosmological constant in quantum cosmology

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-09-25 v1

Abstract

Quantization of a dust-like closed isotropic cosmological model with a cosmological constant is realized by the method of B. DeWitt \cite{1}. It is shown that such quantization leads to interesting results, in particular, to a finite lifetime of the system, and appearance of the Universe in our world as penetration via the barrier. These purely quantum effects appear when Λ>0\Lambda>0.
