Quantum noncomutativity in quantum cosmology    [PDF]

In the present work, we study the noncommutative version of a quantum cosmology model. The model has a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker geometry, the matter content is a radiative perfect fluid and the spatial sections have positive constant curvatures. We work in the Schutz's variational formalism. We quantize the model and obtain the appropriate Wheeler-DeWitt equation. In this model the states are bounded. Therefore, we compute the discrete energy spectrum and the corresponding eigenfunctions. The energies depend on a noncommutative parameter. We observe that, due to the boundary conditions, the noncommutativity forces the universe to start expanding from an initial scale factor greater than zero. We also notice that, one can only construct wave-packets if the noncommutative parameter is discrete, with a well-defined mathematical expression, in a certain region of its domain.
