Generalized Fourier transformation between the position and the momentum representation of a quantum state is constructed in a coordinate independent way. The only ingredient of this construction is the symplectic (canonical) geometry of…
We construct approximate solutions of the hybrid quantum Gowdy cosmology with three-torus topology, linear polarization, and local rotational symmetry, in the presence of a massless scalar field. More specifically, we determine some…
A discussion is given of the quantisation of a physical system with finite degrees of freedom subject to a Hamiltonian constraint by treating time as a constrained classical variable interacting with an unconstrained quantum state. This…
A new representation for canonical gravity and supergravity is presented, which combines advantages of Ashtekar's and the Wheeler~DeWitt representation: it has a nice geometric structure and the singular metric problem is absent. A formal…
The quantum dynamics of the linearly polarized Gowdy T^3 model (compact inhomogeneous universes admitting linearly polarized gravitational waves) is analyzed within Loop Quantum Cosmology by means of an effective dynamics. The analysis,…
The family of Gowdy universes with the spatial topology of a three-torus is studied both classically and quantum mechanically. Starting with the Ashtekar formulation of Lorentzian general relativity, we introduce a gauge fixing procedure to…
The conventional, time-dependent Schroedinger equation describes only unidirectional time evolution of the state of a physical system, i.e., forward or, less commonly, backward. This paper proposes a generalized quantum dynamics for the…
Using a new state-dependent, $\lambda$-deformable, linear functional operator, ${\cal Q}_{\psi}^{\lambda}$, which presents a natural $C^{\infty}$ deformation of quantization, we obtain a uniquely selected non--linear, integro--differential…
If there exists a formulation of quantum mechanics which does not refer to a background classical spacetime manifold, it then follows as a consequence, (upon making one plausible assumption), that a quantum description of gravity should be…
We consider self-gravitating fluids in cosmological spacetimes with Gowdy symmetry on the torus $T^3$ and, in this class, we solve the singular initial value problem for the Einstein-Euler system of general relativity, when an initial data…
In this and companion papers, we show that quantum field theories with gauge symmetries permit a broader class of classical dynamics than typically assumed. In this article, we show that the quantization of electromagnetism permits the…
I investigate spacetime singularities from the point of view of the wavefunction of the universe. In order to extend the classical notion of geodesic incompleteness one has to include the proper time of an observer as a degree of freedom in…
The Gowdy cosmologies are vacuum solutions to the Einstein equations which possess two space-like Killing vectors and whose spatial sections are compact. We consider the simplest of these cosmological models: the case where the spatial…
Quantum geometrodynamics (QGD) in extended phase space essentially distinguished from the Wheeler - DeWitt QGD is proposed. The grounds for constructing a new version of quantum geometrodynamics are briefly discussed. The main part in the…
A general class of discrete unitary models are described whose behavior in the continuum limit corresponds to a many-body Schrodinger equation. On a quantum computer, these models could be used to simulate quantum many-body systems with an…
The linearly polarized Gowdy $T^3$ model with a massless scalar field with the same symmetries as the metric is quantized by applying a hybrid approach. The homogeneous geometry degrees of freedom are loop quantized, fact which leads to the…
Gravitational field is the manifestation of space-time translational ($T_4$) gauge symmetry, which enables gravitational interaction to be unified with the strong and the electroweak interactions. Such a total-unified model is based on a…
In this paper, we present a variational treatment of the linear dependence for a non-orthogonal time-dependent basis set in solving the Schr\"odinger equation. The method is based on: i) the definition of a linearly independent working…
