Supersymmetric quantum matrix cosmology. (English) Zbl 1329.83224

Summary: We exhibit a relation between the \(\mathrm{SU}(2)\) invariant matrix model arising from the quantization of the 11-dimensional supermembrane in the light cone gauge and supersymmetric quantum cosmology. We use a Dirac-like gamma matrix representation for the fermionic degrees of freedom and find explicit solutions to reduced lower dimensional \(\mathrm{SU}(2)\) matrix models for the zero energy states. One of the solutions we encounter in the matrix model resembles exactly a wave function found independently in the context of SUSY quantum cosmology; this allows us to give these regularized models a physical meaning and shows a direct relation between the \(\mathrm{SU}(2)\) matrix model and SUSY quantum cosmology.
