Description

In this work we analyze the evolution of the quantum mixmaster cosmological model within an effective approach. In particular, we study the behavior of the scale factor and anisotropies of the theory, and determine how it deviates from its classical counterpart due to quantum backreaction. Remarkably, we determine that the effective evolution avoids the initial singularity. The semiclassical dynamic of the system is obtained from a Hamiltonian in an extended phase space, whose classical position and momentum variables are the expectation values of the corresponding quantum operators, as well as of quantum dispersions and correlations of the system, and it is in this framework that we obtain semiclassical one-particle trajectories.
