Mathematical structure of quantum superspace as a consequence of time asymmetry

It is demonstrated how a convenient choice of the mathematical structure of the quantum cosmology superspace of the wave functions of the universe, precisely the definition of a convenient regular state superspace and the restriction of the dynamics to this space, yields directly an irreversible evo...
