The quantization of gravity: The quantization of the full Einstein equations

Abstract

We quantized the full Einstein equations in a globally hyperbolic spacetime N=Nn+1N=N^{n+1}, n3n\ge 3, and found solutions of the resulting hyperbolic equation in a fiber bundle EE which can be expressed as a product of spatial eigenfunctions (eigendistributions) and temporal eigenfunctions. The spatial eigenfunctions form a basis in an appropriate Hilbert space while the temporal eigenfunctions are solutions to a second order ordinary differential equation in R+\mathbb{R}_+. In case n17n\ge 17 and provided the cosmological constant Λ\Lambda is negative the temporal eigenfunctions are eigenfunctions of a self-adjoint operator H^0\hat H_0 such that the eigenvalues are countable and the eigenfunctions form an orthonormal basis of a Hilbert space.
