Scientific paper

We study a broad class of spacetimes whose metric coefficients reduce to powers of a radius r in the limit of small r. We show that a large subset of classically singular spacetimes is nevertheless nonsingular quantum mechanically, in that the Hamiltonian operator is essentially self-adjoint so the evolution of quantum wave packets lacks the ambiguity associated with scattering off singularities.
