An algebra of observables for de Sitter space

V Chandrasekaran, R Longo, G Penington… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We describe an algebra of observables for a static patch in de Sitter space, with
operators gravitationally dressed to the worldline of an observer. The algebra is a von …

Unitarity approach to quantum cosmology

AO Barvinsky - Physics Reports, 1993 - Elsevier
A review is presented of the unitarity problem in modern quantum cosmology-quantum
gravity theory of spatially closed worlds. Based on the usual path-integral quantization of …
