Cosmogenesis as symmetry transformation

Abstract: We consider the quantized bi-scalar gravity, which may serve as a locally Lorentz invariant cosmological model with varying speed of light and varying gravitational constant. The equation governing the quantum regime for the case of homogeneous and isotropic cosmological setup is a Dirac-like equation which replaces the standard Wheeler-DeWitt equation. We show that particular cosmogenesis may occur as a result of the action of the symmetry transformation which due to Wigner's theorem can either be unitary or antiunitary. We demonstrate that the transition from the pre-big-bang contraction to the post-big-bang expansion - a scenario that also occurs in string quantum cosmologies - can be attributed to the action of charge conjugation, which belongs to the class of antiunitary transformations. We also demonstrate that the emergence of the two classical expanding post-big-bang universe-antiuniverse pairs, each with opposite spin projections, can be understood as being triggered by the action of a unitary transformation resembling the Hadamard gate.
