Quasi-classical wavefunction of the Universe
14
Density matrix It can be shown that the stochastic wavefunction is equivalent to the presence of a density matrix with c-numbered matrix elements in position and momentum representations. For that we make the Fourier tranform of the wavefunction to obtain
15
The diagonal elements in position representation are trivial, giving again the Hartle-Hawking value, while in the position representation it gives a non-trivial distributions over field velocities. For example, we have where we remind that These distributions can be used to specify most probable initial conditions for classical evolution of the Universe.

CONCLUSIONS The third quantization procedure may provide ‘initial condition’ for wavefunction of the Universe. Although this has been shown in framework of a particular model, we suspect that this effect could operate in all models, where a copious production of universes takes place. This wavefunction is necessarily stochastic, with its average value being equal to zero. At least in our model its r.m.s value is proportional to the absolute value of Hartle- Hawking wavefunction.
