Abstract

Within the ADM technique of Hamiltonian cosmology, in the case of Bianchi class A models, we introduce a Fock-like, field theoretical approach to the description of quantum cosmology. We then calculate the total transition amplitude between two quantum states of the state functional of the ADM geometry.
