Abstract:
The concept of time and its relation with probability in quantum gravity is studied. It is argued that the notion of probability is better defined when the topology is fixed. A probabilistic time is then introduced. It coincides with the proper time, in the classical limit, and yields a parabolic field equation, i.e., the Schrödinger equation. © 1989 The American Physical Society.

- From Eq. (5.11) these equations yield < ψ , ψ > =1, i.e., the original normalization (3.6); Vilenkin, A., (1988) Phys. Rev. D, 37, p. 888. , The oscillating factor could be different if we use, e.g., the Vilenkin tunneling boundary condition, but the prefactor is the same [cf., ]. In both cases the oscillating factor is averaged. This fact shows that, even if in the case of the Hartle-Hawking boundary condition, we are not in the case of Eq. (5.1) (because we have a sum of two terms) the conclusion about probabilistic time, in the classical limit, remains valid
