Generalized Quantum Theory of Recollapsing Homogeneous Cosmo

时间:2025-07-11

A sum-over-histories generalized quantum theory is developed for homogeneous minisuperspace type A Bianchi cosmological models, focussing on the particular example of the classically recollapsing Bianchi IX universe. The decoherence functional for such uni
