ON THE GEOMETRIZATION OF BOHMIAN MECHANICS: A NEW APPROACH TO QUANTUM GRAVITY

Abstract

In this paper, a new approach to quantum gravity is presented in which the de-Broglie–Bohm quantum theory of motion is geometrized. This way of considering quantum gravity leads automatically to the fact that the quantum effects are contained in the conformal degree of freedom of the space–time metric. The present theory is then applied to the maximally symmetric space–time of cosmology, and it is observed that it is possible to avoid the initial singularity, while at large times the correct classical limit emerges.
