N. Manojlovic et Gam. Marugan, NONPERTURBATIVE CANONICAL QUANTIZATION OF MINISUPERSPACE MODELS - BIANCHI TYPE-I AND TYPE-II, Physical review. D. Particles and fields, 48(8), 1993, pp. 3704-3719
We carry out the quantization of the full type I and II Bianchi models
following the nonperturbative canonical quantization program. These h
omogeneous minisuperspaces are completely soluble; i.e., it is possibl
e to obtain the general solution to their classical equations of motio
n in an explicit form. We determine the sectors of solutions that corr
espond to different spacetime geometries, and prove that the parameter
s employed to describe the different physical solutions define a good
set of coordinates in the phase space of these models. Performing a tr
ansformation from the Ashtekar variables to this set of phase-space co
ordinates, we endow the reduced phase space of each of these systems w
ith a symplectic structure. The symplectic forms obtained for the type
I and II Bianchi models are then identified as those of the cotangent
bundles over L(+,+)xS2XS1 (modulo some identification of points) and
L(+,+)xS1, respectively, with L(+,+)+ the positive quadrant of the fut
ure light cone. We construct a closed algebra of Dirac observables i
n each of these reduced phase spaces, and complete the quantization pr
ogram by finding unitary irreducible representations of these algebras
. The real Dirac observables are represented in this way by self-adjoi
nt operators, and the spaces of quantum physical states are provided w
ith a Hilbert structure.
