This volume provides a comprehensive and coherent introduction to
modern quantum cosmology - the study of the universe as a whole
according to the laws of quantum mechanics. In particular, it
presents a useful survey of the many profound consequences of
supersymmetry (supergravity) in quantum cosmology. After a general
introduction to quantum cosmology, the reader is led through
Hamiltonian supergravity and canonical quantization and quantum
amplitudes through to models of supersymmetric mini superspace and
quantum wormholes. The book is rounded off with a look at exciting
further developments, including the possible finiteness of
supergravity. Ample introductory material is included, ensuring
this topical volume is well suited as a graduate text. Researchers
in theoretical and mathematical physics, applied maths and
cosmology will also find it of immediate interest.
