Abstract

The time variable is considered in the quantum gravity theory and calculated explicitly in the framework of the chaotic inflationary scenario where the scalar matter field has a contribution to the time variable in addition to the gravity field. The time formulated under the semiclassical approximation is a natural extension of that in the classical orbital motion. A perturbation method is introduced in terms of the scalar mass to obtain analytically solvable expressions for the time. The Wheeler-DeWitt equation is solved numerically to ensure that the semiclassical approximation is well justified. We examine the obtained time in detail and find that it is reasonable to consider it as time in the region where the semiclassical approximation is well justified.
