Dirac and Friedmann Observables in Quantum Universe with Radiation

Grav.Cosmol. 3 (1997) 17-23 Relations between the Friedmann observables of the expanding Universe and the Dirac observables in the generalized Hamiltonian approach are established for the Friedmann cosmological model of the Universe with the field excitations imitating radiation. A full separation of the physical sector from the gauge one is fulfilled by the method of the gaugeless reduction in which the gravitational part of the energy constraint is considered as a new momentum. We show that this reduction removes an infinite factor from the Hartle -- Hawking functional integral, provides the normalizability of the Wheeler -- DeWitt wave function, clarifies its relation to the observational cosmology, and picks out a conformal frame of Narlikar.
