Loop Quantum Gravity provides a natural truncation of the infinite degrees of freedom of gravity, obtained by studying the theory on a given finite graph. We review this procedure and we present the construction of the canonical theory on a simple graph, formed by only two nodes. We review the U(N) framework, which provides a powerful tool for the canonical study of this model, and a formulation of the system based on spinors. We consider also the covariant theory, which permits to derive the model from a more complex formulation, paying special attention to the cosmological interpretation of the theory.

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the U(N)-symmetric sector of the two-vertex loop-quantum-gravity model, the face frames of the twisted-geometry polyhedra evolve by a common scaling plus rotation, so all planar angles stay constant and the polyhed...
