“…In order to quantize this system we rewrite the 320 real gravitino components ϕ a α in terms of 160 complex ones according tõ ϕ a A := ϕ a A + iϕ a A+16 (32) for A, B, .. = 1, . .…”
The mini-superspace quantization of D = 11 supergravity is equivalent to the quantization of a E 10 /K(E 10 ) coset space sigma model, when the latter is restricted to the E 10 Cartan subalgebra. As a consequence, the wavefunctions solving the relevant mini-superspace Wheeler-DeWitt equation involve automorphic (Maass wave) forms under the modular group W + (E 10 ) ∼ = P SL 2 (O). Using Dirichlet boundary conditions on the billiard domain a general inequality for the Laplace eigenvalues of these automorphic forms is derived, entailing a wave function of the universe that is generically complex and always tends to zero when approaching the initial singularity. The significance of these properties for the nature of singularities in quantum cosmology in comparison with other approaches is discussed. The present approach also offers interesting new perspectives on some long standing issues in canonical quantum gravity.

Abstract. As a generalization of the classical theory of Jacobi forms we discuss Jacobi forms on /xC8 , which are related with integral Cayley numbers. Using the Selberg trace formula we give a simple explicit formula for the dimension of the space of Jacobi forms. The orthogonal complement of the space of cusp forms is shown to be spanned by certain types of Eisenstein series.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
