Abstract
Research on the very early Universe has gradually been benefiting from the recent emergence of two attractive lines of investigation: Supersymmetric Quantum Cosmology and String inspired Quantum Cosmology. The essential feature is that supersymmetry is explicitly present in the former, while the presence of duality properties is characteristic of the latter. Moreover, it seems that quantum cosmological solutions can be assigned with “hidden” supersymmetric properties, whose origin can be traced to a duality present in the classical string action. In this brief review we will therefore analyse some of the consequences of explicitly including supersymmetry and/or duality properties in a quantum cosmological scenario. In addition, several open issues in quantum cosmology are also introduced.
