Abstract

A new Hamiltonian formulation of the minisuperspace cosmology following from the geodetic brane gravity model introduced by Regge and Teitelboim is presented. The model is considered in the framework of higher derivative theories which facilitates Hamiltonian formulation. The analysis is done using the equivalent first-order approach. The gauge generator containing the exact number of gauge parameters is constructed. Equivalence between the gauge and reparametrization symmetries has been demonstrated. Complete gauge fixed computations have been provided and formal quantization is done indicating the Wheeler DeWitt equation. Compatibility with existing results is shown.
