1 División de Ciencias e Ingenierías Campus León Universidad de Guanajuato O. Obregón M(atrix) Theory (Supersymmetric Quantum Cosmology)

2 Summary We use the M(atrix) model arising from the quantization of the eleven dimensional membrane in the Light Cone Gauge (LQG). We use a Dirac-Like Gamma matrix representation for the fermionic degrees of freedom. The relevant operators are the supercharges and the SU(N) constraint operators. They generate multicomponent wave eigenfunction solutions. We restrict to the SU() group and to and 4 dimensions. Key Results Normalized solutions exist (Restricted models). The method can be extended to any SU(N) group and to any dimensions. The 4-dimensional solution resembles a solution found independently in SUSY quantum cosmology. Supersymmetric generalization of M(atrix) cosmology. (Freedman Gibbons).

3 M(atrix) theory and supergravity M-Theory l d-supergravity l Five theories of strings l Supermembranes l M(atrix) theory l Mechanics of D0 particles The Degrees of freedom are NxN matrices and solutions are relevant not only for large N (Susskind).

15 Conclusions Exact Normalizable solutions exist (Restricted models). Finite N Physically Relevant Solutions. Supersymmetric extension to Matrix Cosmology (Freedman- Gibbons). The model can be extended to any SU(N) group and Any Dimension. Perspectives Solution to some other(s) Supersymmetric cosmological model(s); Anisotropic models (Bianchi models). Our procedure allows to construct an algorithm for the search of solutions without any restriction (Any Group any dimension) and for large N. Connection with Super String Cosmology.
