Propagation of extended objects across singularity of time dependent orbifold

Abstract

In this paper we argue that the compactified Milne space is a promising model of the cosmological singularity. It is shown that extended objects like strings propagate in a well-defined manner across the singularity of the embedding space. Then a proposal for quantization of extended objects in the case of a membrane is given.
