Cosmological Bianchi-I type model in the (n + 1)-dimensional gravitational theory with several forms is considered. When electric non-composite brane ansatz is adopted the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation for the model, written in the conformally-covariant form, is analyzed. Under certain restrictions asymptotic solutions to WDW equation near the singularity are found which reduce the problem to the so-called quantum billiard on the (n — 1)-dimensional Lobachevsky space Hn-1.
Keywords: cosmological billiards, branes, Wheeler-DeWitt equation.
1 Introduction
In this paper we deal with the quantum billiard approach for multidimensional cosmological-type models defined on the manifold (u_,u+) x Rn, where n > 3. In classical case the billiard approach was suggested by Chitre fl] for explanation the BLK-oscillations [2] in the Bianchi-IX model [3] by using a simple triangle billiard in the Lobachevsky space H2.
In multidimensional case the billiard representation for cosmological model with multicomponent "perfect" fluid was introduced in [4,5]. The billiard approach for multidimensional models with scalar fields and fields of forms was suggested in [6], see also [7] for examples of "chaotic" behavior in supergravitational models.
Recently the quantum billiard approach for a multidimensional gravitational model with several forms was considered in [8]. The asymptotic solutions to WDW equation presented in [8] are equivalent to those obtained earlier in [5].
Here we use another form of the WDW equation with enlarged minisuperspace which include the form potentials $s [9]. We get another version of the quantum billiard approach, which is different from that
of [8].

Let us consider the manifold M = R* x Rn with the metric

where R* = (u-,u+), w = ±1 mid e(i) = ±1 i = 1,..., n. The dimension of M is D = 1 + ^^or w = —1 and e(i) = 1 i = 1,... ,n, we deal with cosmological solutions while for w = 1, and e(1) = —1 e(j) = 1, j = 2,... ,n, we get static solutions (e.g. wormholes etc).
Let Q = Q(n) be a set of all non-empty subsets of {1,...,n}. For any I = {ii,... ,ik} € Q ii < ... < ik, we denote t(I) = dx11 A...Adxik, e(I) = e(i1).. .e(ik), d(I) = |I| = k .

3 Quantum billiard approach
First we outline two restrictions which will be used in derivation of the quantum billiard: (i) d(Is) < D - 2, (ii) es > 0, for all s.
Due to the first restriction we get
a = 0, ,.,n — 1, obeying Gij4>i4j (nab) = diag( — 1, +1,..., +1).
We restrict the WDW equation to the lower light cone V_ = {z = (z0, Z)|z0 < 0,nabzazb < 0} and introduce Misner-Chitre-like coordinates

4 Conclusion
Here we have done an overview of our approach from [11,12] by considering the quantum billiard for
n
factor-spaces in the theory with several forms. After adopting the electric non-composite brane ansatz with certain restrictions on parameters of the model we have deduced the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation for the model, written in the conformally-covariant form.
By imposing certain restrictions on parameters of the model we have obtained the asymptotic solutions to WDW equation which are of a quantum billiard form since they are governed by the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the billiard with the zero boundary condition imposed. The billiard is a part of the (n — 1)-dimensiond Lobachevsky space Hn_1.

Рассмотрена космологическая модель типа Биаики-1 в (n + 1)-мериой гравитационной теории с несколькими полями форм. В случае, когда принят анзатц с электрическими некомпозитными бранами, проанализировано уравнение Уилера-ДеВитта (УДВ), записанное в конформно-ковариантном виде. При определенных ограничениях найдены асимптотические решения уравнения УДВ вблизи сингулярности, которые сводят проблему к так называемому квантовому бильярду на (n — 1)-мерном пространстве Лобачевского Hn—1.
