Quantum gravity on polygons and R_n FLRW model

Abstract: We fully solve the quantum geometry of

B b b Z_{n}

as a polygon graph with arbitrary metric lengths on the edges, finding a

*

-preserving quantum Levi-Civita connection which is unique for

n e 4

. As a first application, we numerically compute correlation functions for Euclideanised quantum gravity on

B b b Z_{n}

for small

n

. We then study an FLRW model on

B b b R i m e s B b b Z_{n}

, finding the same expansion rate as for the classical flat FLRW model in 1+2 dimensions. We also look at particle creation on

B b b R i m e s B b b Z_{n}

and find an additional

m = 0

adiabatic no particle creation expansion as well as the particle creation spectrum for a smoothed step expansion.
