Decoherence Due to Massive Vector Fields with Global Symmetries

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Retrieval of classical behaviour in quantum cosmology is usually discussed in the framework of minisuperspace models in the presence of scalar fields together with the inhomogeneous modes of gravitational or scalar fields. In this work we propose alternatively a model where the scalar field is replaced by a massive vector field with global U(1) or SO(3) internal symmetries.
