Abstract

We find a supersymmetrization of the Bianchi type-IX cosmology in terms of Ashtekar's new variables. This provides a framework for connecting the recent results of Graham and those of Ryan and Moncrief for quantum states of this model. These states are also related to the states obtained particularizing supergravity for a minisuperspace. Implications for the general theory are also briefly discussed.
