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

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

(abbreviated) We study quantized solutions of WdW equation describing a closed FRW universe with a ΛΛ term and a set of massless scalar fields. We show that when Λ≪1Λ\ll 1 in the natural units and the standard inin-vacuum state is considered, either wavefunction of the universe, ΨΨ, or its derivative with respect to the scale factor, aa, behave as random quasi-classical fields at sufficiently large values of aa, when 1≪a≪e23Λ1 \ll a \ll e^{2\over 3Λ} or a≫e23Λa \gg e^{2\over 3Λ}, respectively. Statistical r.m.s value of the wavefunction is proportional to the Hartle-Hawking wavefunction for a closed universe with a ΛΛ term. Alternatively, the behaviour of our system at large values of aa can be described in terms of a density matrix corresponding to a mixed state, which is directly determined by statistical properties of ΨΨ. It gives a non-trivial probability distribution over field velocities. We suppose that a similar behaviour of ΨΨ can be found in all models exhibiting copious production of excitations with respect to outout-vacuum state associated with classical trajectories at large values of aa. Thus, the third quantization procedure may provide a 'boundary condition' for classical solutions of WdW equation.
