Model universe with variable space dimension: Its dynamics and wave function

R Mansouri, F Nasseri - Physical Review D, 1999 - APS
Assuming the space dimension is not constant, but varies with the expansion of the
universe, a Lagrangian formulation of a toy universe model is given. After a critical review of …

Schwinger's result on particle production from complex paths WKB approximation

S Biswas, A Shaw, B Modak - International Journal of Modern …, 2000 - World Scientific
This paper presents the derivation of Schwinger's gauge-invariant result of Im ℒ eff up to one
loop approximation, for particle production in an uniform electric field through the method of …

The CWKB method of particle production in a periodic potential

S Biswas, P Misra, I Chowdhury - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2003 - Springer
In this work we study the particle production in time dependent periodic potential using the
method of complex time WKB (CWKB) approximation. In the inflationary cosmology at the …

The complex time WKB approximation and particle production

S Biswas, A Shaw, B Modak - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2000 - Springer
The complex time WKB (CWKB) approximation has been an effective technique to
understand particle production in curved as well as in flat spacetime. Earlier we obtained the …

SCHRÖDINGER–WHEELER–DEWITT EQUATION IN MULTIDIMENSIONAL COSMOLOGY

S Biswas, A Shaw, D Biswas - International Journal of Modern …, 2001 - World Scientific
We study multidimensional cosmology to obtain the wavefunction of the universe using
wormhole dominance proposal. Using a prescription for time we obtain the Schrödinger …

Quantum gravity equation in Schrödinger form in minisuperspace description

S Biswas, A Shaw, B Modak, D Biswas - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2000 - Springer
We start from the classical Hamiltonian constraint of general relativity to obtain the Einstein–
Hamiltonian–Jacobi equation. We obtain a time parameter prescription demanding that …

Time in quantum gravity

S Biswas, A Shaw, B Modak - International Journal of Modern …, 2001 - World Scientific
The Wheeler–DeWitt equation in quantum gravity is timeless in character. In order to discuss
quantum to classical transition of the universe, one uses a time prescription in quantum …

Starobinsky model in Schrödinger description

S Biswas, A Shaw, D Biswas - Pramana, 1999 - Springer
In the Starobinsky inflationary model inflation is driven by quantum corrections to the
vacuum Einstein equation. We reduce the Wheeler-DeWitt equation corresponding to the …

Wormhole dominance proposal and wave function discord

S Biswas, B Modak, A Shaw - arXiv preprint astro-ph/9903082, 1999 - arxiv.org
Using the wormhole dominance proposal, it is shown that quantum corrections to the usual
WKB ansatz for the wave function of the universe ably circumvent many of the drawbacks …
