Abstract: (arXiv)
We suggest a method of construction of general diffeomorphism invariant boundary conditions for metric fluctuations. The case of dimensional Euclidean disk is studied in detail. The eigenvalue problem for the Laplace operator on metric perturbations is reduced to that on -dimensional vector, tensor and scalar fields. Explicit form of the eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator is derived. We also study restrictions on boundary conditions which are imposed by hermiticity of the Laplace operator.- quantum cosmology
