The Planck era with a negative cosmological constant and cosmic strings

In the present Letter, we consider the DeBroglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) models in the presence of a negative cosmological constant and cosmic strings. We compute Bohm's trajectories and quantum potentials for a quantity related to the scale factor. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
