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,…

From Big Crunch to Big Bang with AdS/CFT
Neil Turok, Ben Craps, Thomas Hertog
The AdS/CFT correspondence is used to describe five-dimensional cosmology with a big crunch singularity in terms of super-Yang-Mills theory on R times S^3 deformed by a potential w…

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…
