A stochastic quasi-classical wavefunction of the Universe from the third quantization procedure


Abstract in English

(abbreviated) We study quantized solutions of WdW equation describing a closed FRW universe with a $Lambda $ term and a set of massless scalar fields. We show that when $Lambda ll 1$ in the natural units and the standard $in$-vacuum state is considered, either wavefunction of the universe, $Psi$, or its derivative with respect to the scale factor, $a$, behave as random quasi-classical fields at sufficiently large values of $a$, when $1 ll a ll e^{{2over 3Lambda}}$ or $a gg e^{{2over 3Lambda}}$, respectively. Statistical r.m.s value of the wavefunction is proportional to the Hartle-Hawking wavefunction for a closed universe with a $Lambda $ term. Alternatively, the behaviour of our system at large values of $a$ can be described in terms of a density matrix corresponding to a mixed state, which is directly determined by statistical properties of $Psi$. It gives a non-trivial probability distribution over field velocities. We suppose that a similar behaviour of $Psi$ can be found in all models exhibiting copious production of excitations with respect to $out$-vacuum state associated with classical trajectories at large values of $a$. Thus, the third quantization procedure may provide a boundary condition for classical solutions of WdW equation.
