In this work, we report a new result that appears when one investigates the route that starts from a scalar field theory and ends on a supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The subject has been studied before in several distinct ways and here, we unveil an interesting novelty, showing that the same scalar field model may describe distinct quantum mechanical problems.

Six exact solutions are obtained in the general scalar-tensor theory of gravity related to spatially homogeneous wave-like models of the Universe. Wave-like spacetime models allow the existence of privileged coordinate systems where the eikonal equation and the Hamilton–Jacobi equation of test particles can be integrated by the method of complete separation of variables with the separation of isotropic (wave) variables on which the space metric depends (non-ignored variables). An explicit form of the scalar field and two functions of the scalar field that are part of the general scalar-tensor theory of gravity are found. The explicit form of the eikonal function and the action function for test particles in the considered models is given. The obtained solutions are of type III according to the Bianchi classification and type N according to the Petrov classification. Wave-like spatially homogeneous spacetime models can describe primordial gravitational waves of the Universe.

Some issues in the quantum mechanics of gravitational collapse are discussed in the framework of a simple minisuperspace model, consisting of a Friedman metric coupled to a massless scalar field. The model illustrates the role of intrinsic time coordinates in parametrizing gravitational collapse through a singularity, and the relevance of quantizing the metric scale factor over an infinite, rather than half-infinite, range.

A thermal squeezed state representation is constructed for each mode of a quantized scalar field in a spatially homogeneous and flat Robertson–Walker metric and the validity of semiclassical Einstein equation by analyzing the density fluctuation is examined. The density fluctuation in thermal squeezed state is very large and therefore the semiclassical theory may not be valid for squeezing parameter more than unity, however the theory holds when the associated squeezing parameter is much less than the unity. Further noted that the semiclassical theory is consistent in thermal coherent state formalism. The present study can account for the density fluctuations due to the thermal and quantum effects in semiclassical theory of gravity.
