Description of Friedmann Observables in Quantum Universe

The solution of the problem of describing the Friedmann observables (the Hubble law, the red shift, etc.) in quantum cosmology is proposed on the basis of the method of gaugeless Hamiltonian reduction in which the gravitational part of the energy constraint is considered as a new momentum. We show that the conjugate variable corresponding to the new momentum plays a role of the invariant time parameter of evolution of dynamical variables in the sector of the Dirac observables of the general Hamiltonian approach. Relations between these Dirac observables and the Friedmann observables of the expanding Universe are established for the standard Friedmann cosmological model with dust and radiation. The presented reduction removes an infinite factor from the functional integral, provides the normalizability of the wave function of the Universe and distinguishes the conformal frame of reference where the Hubble law is caused by the alteration of the conformal dust mass.

Covariant Gauges for Constrained Systems

The method of constructing of extended phase space for singular theories which permits the consideration of covariant gauges without the introducing of a ghost fields, is proposed. The extension of the phase space is carried out by the identification of the initial theory with an equivalent theory with higher derivatives and applying to it the Ostrogradsky method of Hamiltonian description .

On Abelianization of First Class Constraints

The systematic method for the conversion of first class constraints to the equivalent set of Abelian one based on the Dirac equivalence transformation is developed. The representation for the corresponding matrix performing this transformation is proposed. This representation allows one to lead the problem of abelianization to the solution of a certain system of first order {\it linear } differential equations for matrix elements .

On Admissible Gauges for Constrained Systems

The {\it {gauge - fixing} } and {\it gaugeless } methods for reducing the phase space in the generalized Hamiltonian dynamics are compared with the aim to define the class of admissible gauges . In the gaugeless approach, the reduced phase space of a Hamiltonian system with the first class constraints is constructed locally, without any gauge fixing, using the following procedure: abelianization of constraints with the subsequent canonical transformation so that some of the new momenta are equal to the new abelian constraints. As a result the corresponding conjugate coordinates are ignorable ( nonphysical ) one while the remaining canonical pairs corresponds to the true dynamical variables. This representation for the phase space prompts us the definition of subclass of admissible gauges -- canonical gauges as functions depending only on the ignorable coordinates. A practical method to recognize the canonical gauge is proposed .
