Unitary evolution for anisotropic quantum cosmologies: models with variable spatial curvature

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2016-11-03 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

Contrary to the general belief, there has recently been quite a few examples of unitary evolution of quantum cosmological models. The present work gives more examples, namely Bianchi type VI and type II. These examples are important as they involve varying spatial curvature unlike the most talked about homogeneous but anisotropic cosmological models like Bianchi I, V and IX. We exhibit either explicit example of the unitary solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, or at least show that a self-adjoint extension is possible.
