Wheeler-DeWitt Universe Wave Function in the presence of stiff matter
Abstract
We study the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation close to the Big-Bang. We argue that an interaction dominated fluid (speed of sound equal to the speed of light), if present, would dominate during such an early phase. Such a fluid with generates a term in the potential of the wave function of the WDW equation proportional to This very peculiar quantum potential, which embodies a spontaneous breaking of dilatation invariance, has some very remarkable consequences for the wave function of the Universe: vanishes at the Big-Bang: ; the wave function is always real; a superselection rule assures that the system is confined to without the need of imposing any additional artificial barrier for unphysical negative . These results do not depend on the operator-ordering problem of the WDW equation.
