Minisuperspace Models in Histories Theory
arXiv:gr-qc/0410131 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/22/9/023
Abstract
We study the Robertson-Walker minisuperspace model in histories theory, motivated by the results that emerged from the histories approach to general relativity. We examine, in particular, the issue of time-reparameterisation in such systems. The model is quantised using an adaptation of reduced-state-space quantisation. We finally discuss the classical limit, the implementation of initial cosmological conditions and estimation of probabilities in the histories context.
