The Wheeler-DeWitt equation for the theory is solved exactly to obtain the unique quantum wave functional for an isolated black hole with fixed mass. By suitably relaxing the boundary conditions, a non-perturbative ansatz is obtained for the wave functional of a black hole interacting with its surroundings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1993-02-05T19:41:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "black hole", "quantum theory", "unique quantum wave functional", "conformally invariant midi-superspace model", "conformally invariant einstein gravity" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 343009 } } }
