In Gen. Rel. Grav. (36, 111-126 (2004); in press, gr-qc/0410010) we have proposed a model unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics based on a noncommutative geometry. This geometry was developed in terms of a noncommutative algebra…
We study the quantization of some cosmological models within the theory of N=1 supergravity with a positive cosmological constant. We find, by imposing the supersymmetry and Lorentz constraints, that there are no physical states in the…

In classical general relativity, the generic approach to the initial singularity is very complicated as exemplified by the chaos of the Bianchi IX model which displays the generic local evolution close to a singularity. Quantum gravity…
