Time in quantum cosmology

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2022-01-12 v2

Abstract

Time in quantum gravity is not a well-defined notion, despite its central role in the very definition of dynamics. Using the formalism of quantum geometrodynamics, we shortly review the problem and illustrate it with two proposed solutions. Our main application is quantum cosmology -- the application of quantum gravity to the Universe as a whole.
