Abstract
The Wheeler-DeWitt equation is considered in the context of generalized sca lar-tensor theories of gravitation for the Bianchi type I cosmology. Exact solutions are found for two selfinteracting potentials and arbitrary coupli ng function. The WKB wavefunctions are obtained and a family of solutions s atisfying the Hawking-Page regularity conditions of wormholes are found.
