Abstract

In this paper, we consider supersymmetric quantum cosmology, where a matrix representation for the gravitino covector spinor is used. The full Lorentz constraint and its implications for the wave function of the universe are analyzed in detail. We find that there are no physical states in the minisuperspace sector of the theory, unless the Lorentz condition trivializes.
