Abstract The quantum Belinski–Khalatnikov–Lifshitz scenario presents an unitary evolution of the system. However, the affine coherent states quantization applied to the quantization of the underlying classical scenario depends on the choice of the group parametrization. Using the two simplest parameterizations of the affine group, we show that qualitative features of our quantum system do not depend on the choice. It means that the quantum bounce replacing a singular classical scenario is expected to be a generic feature of the considered system. This paper complements our recent article (Góźdź et al. in Eur Phys J C 79:45, 2019).
