Its minisuperspace version already contains all physical information. The size of compact slices is parametrized by a scale factor $h > 0$. The dilaton $\phi$ is chosen to have positive values, $\phi > 0$, and interpreted as size of an additional compact slice in a higher-dimensional theory. At the boundaries $h=0$, $\phi=0$, where the volume of the universe vanishes, the curvature is generically singular. According to a conjecture by DeWitt, solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation should vanish at singular loci. Recently, the behaviour of JT wave functions at large field values $h$, $\phi$ has been obtained by means of a path integral over Schwarzian degrees of freedom of a boundary curve. We systematically analyze solutions of the WDW equation with Schwarzian asymptotic behaviour. We find real analytic solutions that vanish on the entire boundary, in agreement with DeWitt's conjecture. Projection to expanding and contracting branches may lead to singularities, which can however be avoided by an appropriate superposition of solutions. Our analysis also illustrates the limitations of semiclassical wave functions. 000611765 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-611$$a611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF4-611)$$cPOF4-611$$fPOF IV$$x0 000611765 536__ $$0G:(GEPRIS)390833306$$aDFG project G:(GEPRIS)390833306 - EXC 2121: Quantum Universe (390833306)$$c390833306$$x1 000611765 536__ $$0G:(GEPRIS)531727554$$aSFB 1624 B03 - Modulräume und Quantengravitation (B03) (531727554)$$c531727554$$x2 000611765 536__ $$0G:(GEPRIS)471314740$$aDFG project G:(GEPRIS)471314740 - Holographie und das Swampland: Konsistenzbedingungen an fundamentale Physik aus der Quantengravitation (471314740)$$c471314740$$x3 000611765 588__ $$aDataset connected to arXivarXiv 000611765 693__ $$0EXP:(DE-MLZ)NOSPEC-20140101$$5EXP:(DE-MLZ)NOSPEC-20140101$$eNo specific instrument$$x0 000611765 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aHebecker, Arthur$$b1 000611765 7001_ $$0P:(DE-H253)PIP1013212$$aWestphal, Alexander$$b2$$udesy 000611765 8564_ $$uhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2412.09211 000611765 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/611765/files/HTML-Approval_of_scientific_publication.html 000611765 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/611765/files/PDF-Approval_of_scientific_publication.pdf 000611765 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/611765/files/2412.09211v1.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000611765 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/611765/files/2412.09211v1.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000611765 909CO $$ooai:bib-pubdb1.desy.de:611765$$popenaire$$popen_access$$pVDB$$pdriver$$pdnbdelivery 000611765 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1003059$$aExternal Institute$$b0$$kExtern 000611765 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2008985-5$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1013212$$aDeutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron$$b2$$kDESY 000611765 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-611$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-610$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lMatter and the Universe$$vFundamental Particles and Forces$$x0 000611765 9141_ $$y2024 000611765 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000611765 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000611765 9201_ $$0I:(DE-H253)T-20120731$$kT$$lTheorie-Gruppe$$x0 000611765 980__ $$apreprint 000611765 980__ $$aVDB 000611765 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000611765 980__ $$aI:(DE-H253)T-20120731 000611765 9801_ $$aFullTexts
