abstract

We compute the transition amplitude between coherent quantum-states of geometry peaked on homogeneous isotropic metrics. We use the holomorphic representations of loop quantum gravity and the Kaminski-Kisielowski-Lewandowski generalization of the new vertex, and work at first order in the vertex expansion, second order in the graph (multipole) expansion, and first order in 1/volume. We show that the resulting amplitude is in the kernel of a differential operator whose classical limit is the canonical hamiltonian of a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology. This result is an indication that the dynamics of loop quantum gravity defined by the new vertex yields the Friedmann equation in the appropriate limit.

Toller matrices and the Feynman $i\varepsilon$ in spinfoams

gr-qc · 2026-04-27 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Toller matrices T^(±) in causal spinfoam amplitudes satisfy T^(+) + T^(-) = D and admit equivalent definitions via analyticity, iε prescription, and boost-eigenvalue integrals that reproduce the Euclidean-to-Lorentzian Wick rotation.
