Some remarks on singularities in quantum cosmology
Mark J. Gotay (University of Hawai`i), Jacques Demaret (Universite de, Liege)
TL;DR
This paper examines whether classical singularities in cosmological models are resolved or persist after applying quantum theory, providing insights into the quantum nature of the universe.
Contribution
It analyzes the persistence of classical singularities in quantum cosmology using two simplified models, highlighting the conditions under which singularities may be avoided.
Findings
Classical singularities may or may not be resolved in quantum models
Quantum effects can potentially remove singularities in certain conditions
The results depend on the specific cosmological model used
Abstract
We discuss to what extent classical singularities persist upon quantization in two simple cosmological models.
