We perform a minisuperspace analysis of an information-theoretic nonlinear Wheeler-deWitt (WDW) equation for de Sitter universes. The nonlinear WDW equation, which is in the form of a difference-differential equation, is transformed into a…

The Wheeler-DeWitt equation is solved for the Bergmann-Wagoner scalar-tensor gravitational theory in the case of Friedmann-Robertson- Walker cosmological model. We present solutions for several cosmological functions: i) \lambda(\phi)=0,…

At the minisuperspace level of homogeneous models, the bare probability for a classical universe has a huge peak at small universes for the Hartle-Hawking `no-boundary' wavefunction, in contrast to the suppression at small universes for the…

In this work, we apply fractional calculus to study quantum cosmology. Specifically, our Wheeler-DeWitt equation includes a FRW geometry, a radiation fluid, a positive cosmological constant, and an ad hoc potential; we employ the Riesz…

We discuss a dramatic difference between the description of the quantum creation of an open universe using the Hartle-Hawking wave function and the tunneling wave function. Recently Hawking and Turok have found that the Hartle-Hawking wave…

A new ''twice loose shoe'' method in the Wheeler-DeWitt equation of the universe wave function on the cosmic scale factor a and a scalar field $\phi$ is suggested in this letter. We analysis the both affects come from the tunneling effect…

Within the third quantisation formalism, we find solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt in terms of two sets of modes that can be identified with the Hartle-Hawking's no boundary condition and with the Vilenkin's tunneling boundary condition,…
