Minisuperspace Models in Histories Theory

Abstract

We study the Robertson-Walker minisuperspace model in histories theory, motivated by the results that emerged from the histories approach to general relativity. We examine, in particular, the issue of time-reparameterisation in such systems. The model is quantised using an adaptation of reduced-state-space quantisation. We finally discuss the classical limit, the implementation of initial cosmological conditions and estimation of probabilities in the histories context.
