Class of solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe

Abstract: We show that the solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in a homogeneous and isotropic universe are given by triconfluent Heun functions for the spatially closed, flat, and open geometries of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe filled with different forms of energy. In a matterdominated universe, we find the polynomial solution and the energy density spectrum. In the cases of radiation-dominated and vacuum universes, there are no polynomial solutions as shown.

“…Recently, we found a class of solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in a homogeneous and isotropic universe for the spatially closed, flat, and open geometries of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe filled with different forms of energy, namely, matter, radiation, and vacuum [9]. Soon after, we have generalized our analysis and then studied the dynamical interpretation of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation by taking into account all different kinds of energy [10].…”
