On Quantum Gravity for Homogeneous Pure Radiation Universes

  • Chapter
Quantum Mechanics in Curved Space-Time

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 230))

Abstract

Quantum Gravity is studied in the case of a homogeneous pure radiation universe. Several prescriptions to define the wave function of the universe are tested in this framework. A new idea to define this wave function is introduced. It is based on the final classical behaviour of the universe.
