Fractional Entropy of Brown-Kuchar Dust in Anti-de Sitter Quantum Gravity

Applies fractional quantum gravity to the Brown-Kuchar dust in anti-de Sitter spacetime by generalizing the Wheeler-DeWitt equation with a quantum Riesz fractional derivative operator (Laskin's fractional quantum mechanics, built on Levy processes). Solving this generalized fractional WDW equation yields a quantized mass spectrum and entropy for the dust and reveals a correlation between the fractal mass dimension of the dust and Levy's fractional parameter alpha, suggesting implications for the fractal behavior of cosmic structures in quantum cosmology.
