D=11 Supergravity near a space-like singularity admits a cosmological billiard description based on the hyperbolic Kac-Moody group E10. The quantization of this system via the supersymmetry constraint is shown to lead to wavefunctions involving automorphic (Maass wave) forms under the modular group W^+(E10)=PSL(2,O) with Dirichlet boundary conditions on the billiard domain. A general inequality for the Laplace eigenvalues of these automorphic forms implies that the wave function of the universe is generically complex and always tends to zero when approaching the initial singularity. We discuss possible implications of this result for the question of singularity resolution in quantum cosmology and comment on the differences with other approaches.

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Near-singularity Wheeler-DeWitt wavefunctions for 5d BKL dynamics are shown to correspond to Hecke L-functions over Gaussian or Eisenstein integers, whose Euler products define complex 'primon gas' partition functions.

  2. The Conformal Primon Gas at the End of Time

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    BKL singularity dynamics are mapped to conformal quantum mechanics whose states are odd automorphic L-functions, and these L-functions are reinterpreted as partition functions of prime-labeled oscillator gases.
