          Abstract

          We discuss the implications of a wave function for quantum gravity, which involves nothing but 3-dimensional geometries as arguments and is invariant under general coordinate transformations. We derive an analytic wave function from the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for spherically symmetric space-time with the coordinate system arbitrary. The de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics is applied to the wave function. In this interpretation, deterministic dynamics can be yielded from a wave function in fully quantum regions as well as in semiclassical ones. By introducing a coordinate system additionally, we obtain a cosmological black hole picture in compensation for the loss of general covariance. Our analysis shows that the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation gives quantum gravity an appropriate prescription to introduce coordinate systems naturally and extract information from a wave function as a result of breaking general covariance.
