Quantization of a 2D Minisuperspace Model in Dilaton-Einstein Gravity
arXiv:gr-qc/9602062 · doi:10.1142/S0218271897000030
Abstract
We investigate a minisuperspace model of Einstein gravity plus dilaton that describes a static spherically symmetric configuration or a Kantowski - Sachs like universe. We develop the canonical formalism and identify canonical quantities that generate rigid symmetries of the Hamiltonian. Quantization is performed by the Dirac and the reduced methods. Both approaches lead to the same positive definite Hilbert space.
