The Distorted Wheeler-DeWitt Equation |
Abstract |
Even if a full and complete theory of Quantum Gravity and Quantum Cosmology is absent, the Wheeler- DeWitt equation appears as a natural instrument for the quantization of the gravitational field. In this context we setup a Sturm-Liouville problem with the cosmological constant considered as the associated eigenvalue. We will discuss the effects of some modifications of General Relativity, like Gravity's Rainbow and Horava-Lifshitz theory on the Wheeler-DeWitt Equation. An application to inflation will be discussed. |
