Abstract

We consider the third quantization in quantum cosmology of a minisuperspace extended by the Eisenhart-Duval lift. We study the third quantization based on both Klein-Gordon type and Dirac-type equations in the extended minisuperspace. Spontaneous creation of "universes" is investigated upon the quantization of a simple model. We find that the quantization of the Dirac-type wave function reveals that the number density of universes is expressed by the Fermi-Dirac distribution. We also calculate the entanglement entropy of the multi-universe system.
