Kinematical Quantization

Abstract

We consider here kinematical quantization: a first and often overlooked step in quantization procedures. $\mathbb{R}$, ${\mathbb{R}}_{+}$ and the interval are considered, as well as direct (Cartesian) products thereof. Some simple minisuperspace models, and mode by mode consideration of slightly inhomogeneous cosmology, have indefinite signature versions of such kinematical quantizations. The examples in the current paper build in particular toward the case of vacuum ${\mathbb{S}}^3$ slightly inhomogeneous cosmology's mode configuration space, which is mathematically a finite time interval slab of Minkowski spacetime.
