Quantum Tunneling and the Emergence of Classical Spacetime in Einstein-{\AE}ther Quantum Cosmology

We investigate a quantum cosmological model within the framework of Einstein-{\AE}ther gravity. The model consists of a positively curved FLRW Universe whose matter content is described by pressureless dust, in the presence of a positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$. We first perform a classical Hamiltonian analysis...
