The Classical Universes of the No-Boundary Quantum State
James B. Hartle, S. W. Hawking, Thomas Hertog
We analyze the origin of the quasiclassical realm from the no-boundary proposal for the universe's quantum state in a class of minisuperspace models. The models assume homogeneous,…

The No-Boundary Measure of the Universe
James B. Hartle, S. W. Hawking, Thomas Hertog
We consider the no-boundary proposal for homogeneous isotropic closed universes with a cosmological constant and a scalar field with a quadratic potential. In the semi-classical li…

S. W. Hawking
It has been suggested that the no boundary proposal would predict little or no slow roll inflation leading to an empty deSitter universe. However it is argued that the probability…
