DOI: 10.1007/jhep03(2022)019
Abstract: Abstract In a theory of quantum gravity, states can be represented as wavefunctionals that assign an amplitude to a given configuration of matter fields and the metric on a spatial slice. These wavefunctionals must obey… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/psa.2025.10146
Abstract: This paper challenges the notion of emergent time in quantum cosmology by examining the reconciliation of the timeless Wheeler-deWitt equation with the Universe’s dynamical evo- lution. We critically evaluate the analogy between the Wheeler-DeWitt and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/29w3-3mmc
Abstract: The Hamiltonian formulation of the BMS symmetry on spacelike hypersurfaces enables one to define its action on solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. Using the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) reformulation of the theory, we provide operator expressions for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.101.084048
Abstract: We study Euclidean wormholes in the framework of the Horava-Lifshitz theory of gravity. Euclidean wormholes first appeared in the Euclidean path integral approach to quantum gravity. In a more general way, Hawking and Page interpreted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1142/s0218271818410043
Abstract: The Wheeler–DeWitt equation was proposed 50 years ago and until now it is the cornerstone of most approaches to quantization of gravity. One can find in the literature, the opinion that the Wheeler–DeWitt equation is… read more here.
