Quantum Cosmology via Quantization of Point-Like Lagrangian

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new way to inquire the quantum cosmology for a certain gravitational theory. Normally, the quantum cosmological model is introduced as the minisuperspace theory which is obtained by reducing the superspace where the Wheel-DeWitt equation is defined on using the symmetry provided by cosmological principle. Unlike that, the key of our approach is to reinterpret the cosmology in a classical dynamical way using a point-like Lagrangian and then quantize the point-like model. We apply the method into Einstein gravity, gravity with a cosmological constant and the $f(R)$-gravity, and get their wave equations respectively. By analsysing the exact solution for the quantum cosmology with and without a cosmological constant we demonstrate that the cosmological constant is essential and being a tiny positive number. We also show the possibility of explaining inflation under the quantum version of cosmology.
