Abstract
AbstractWe quantize the solution to the Belinski– Khalatnikov–Lifshitz (BKL) scenario using the integral quantization method. Quantization smears the gravitational singularity, preventing its localization in the configuration space. The latter is defined in terms of spatial and temporal coordinates, which are treated on the same footing that enables the respective covariance of general relativity. The relative quantum perturbations grow as the system evolves towards the gravitational singularity. The quantum randomness amplifies the deterministic classical chaos of the BKL scenario. Additionally, our results suggest that the generic singularity of general relativity can be avoided at a quantum level, giving support to the expectation that quantum gravity has a good chance of being a regular theory.
