Boundary Conditions in Quantum String Cosmology
Mariusz P. Dabrowski, Claus Kiefer
Abstract
We discuss in detail how to consistently impose boundary conditions in quantum string cosmology. Since a classical time parameter is absent in quantum gravity, such conditions must be imposed with respect to intrinsic variables. Constructing wave packets for minisuperspace models from different tree-level string effective actions, we explain in particular the meaning of a transition between ``pre-big-bang" and ``post-big-bang" branches. This leads to a scenario different from previous considerations.
