Homothetic expansion of polyhedra in the two-vertex model: emergence of FLRW

Abstract

The cosmological behavior associated to a U(N)-symmetry reduced sector of the loop-quantum-gravity truncation known as the two-vertex model is further explored in this work. We construct convenient frame bases that encode the whole classical phase space of the twisted geometry associated to the graph. We show that the polyhedra of the twisted geometry suffer under evolution an homothetic expansion, which strengthens the correspondence to the Robertson-Walker geometry.
