Singularity avoidance in Kantowski-Sachs quantum cosmology — •Nick Kwidzinski — Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Cologne, 50937 Cologne, Germany

We study the classical and quantum cosmology of Kantowski-Sachs universes. Special attention will be given to the singularities that occur in these models and their resolution in the corresponding quantum models. Quantization is performed within the minisuperspace approximation of quantum geometrodynamics.
