Evolution of the Universe caused by the averaged potential of the quantum scalar field
Abstract
We study the quantum theory of the singular scalar field minimally coupled to gravity. In our approach, the scalar field is treated as a true quantum variable, while the scale factor a(t) is supposed to be classical. We evaluate the quantum average of the self-interaction potential V() and use it in the modified differential equation for the Hubble parameter.
