We derive the spatially flat rainbow-Friedmann equation from de Broglie–Bohm interpretation in canonical quantum cosmology. Our result shows that the spatially flat rainbow-Friedmann equations of early and late-time universe are having different forms. The spatially flat rainbow-Friedmann equation of early universe which is obtained in this paper is quite different from the one which was initially derived by Magueijo and Smolin [Class. Quantum Grav. 21, 1725 (2004)]. However, the spatially flat rainbow-Friedmann equation for late-time universe obtained in this paper is found to be the same as the one derived by Magueijo and Smolin (for the case [Formula: see text] and Newton’s gravitational constant [Formula: see text]. The new spatially flat rainbow-Friedmann equation obtained in this paper could provide an alternative way in understanding the evolution of the early rainbow universe.

Using canonical quantization of a flat FRW cosmological model containing a real scalar field ϕ endowed with a scalar potential V(ϕ), we are able to obtain exact and semi-classical solutions of the so-called Wheeler–DeWitt equation for a particular family of scalar potentials. Some features of the solutions and their classical limits are discussed.

In this paper, a generalized quantization principle for the gravitational field in canonical quantum gravity, especially with respect to quantum geometrodynamics is considered. This assumption can be interpreted as a transfer from the generalized uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics, which is postulated as generalization of the Heisenberg algebra to introduce a minimal length, to a corresponding quantization principle concerning the quantities of quantum gravity. According to this presupposition there have to be given generalized representations of the operators referring to the observables in the canonical approach of a quantum description of general relativity. This also leads to generalized constraints for the states and thus to a generalized Wheeler–DeWitt equation determining a new dynamical behavior. As a special manifestation of this modified canonical theory of quantum gravity, quantum cosmology is explored. The generalized cosmological Wheeler–DeWitt equation corresponding to the application of the generalized quantization principle to the cosmological degree of freedom is solved by using Sommerfelds polynomial method.

Within the framework of Hawking's quantum cosmology, a problem of a topology change of the Universe allowing differentiation between pure and mixed quantum states, is discussed. It is shown that for the pure state Universe, the transition of the sphere to torus is strongly suppressed. The corresponding probabilities are of the same order in the case of the mixed states of the Universe.
