In this paper, we will first derive the Wheeler–DeWitt equation for the generalized geometry which occurs in M-theory. Then we will observe that M2-branes act as probes for this generalized geometry, and as M2-branes have an extended structure, their extended structure will limits the resolution to which this generalized geometry can be defined. We will demonstrate that this will deform the Wheeler–DeWitt equation for the generalized geometry. We analyze such a deformed Wheeler–DeWitt equation in the minisuperspace approximation, and observe that this deformation can be used as a solution to the problem of time. This is because this deformation gives rise to time crystals in our universe due to the spontaneous breaking of time reparametrization invariance.

Reparametrization Invariance

We discuss how to fix the gauge in the canonical treatment of Lagrangians, with a finite number of degrees of freedom, endowed with time reparametrization invariance. The motion can be described by an effective Hamiltonian acting on the gauge shell canonical space. The system is then suited for quantization. We apply this treatment to the case of a Robertson–Walker metric interacting with zero modes of bosonic fields and write a Schrödinger equation for the on-shell wave function.

Induced Measure

We calculate an effective action and measure induced by the integration over the auxiliary field in the matrix model recently proposed to describe IIB superstrings. It is shown that the measure of integration over the auxiliary matrix is uniquely determined by locality and reparametrization invariance of the resulting effective action. The large-N limit of the induced measure for string coordinates is discussed in detail. It is found to be ultralocal and, thus, is possibly irrelevant in the continuum limit. The model of the GKM type is considered in relation to the effective action problem.
