Quantum Cosmology for a Quadratic Theory of Gravity
Abstract
For pure fourth order (L R2) quantum cosmology the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is solved exactly for the closed homogeneous and isotropic model. It is shown that by imposing as boundary condition that = 0 at the origin of the universe the wave functions behave as suggested by Vilenkin.
