Abstract: (arXiv)
We examine how cosmological expansion arises in a universe containing a lattice of spinning black holes. We study averaged expansion properties as a function of fundamental properties of the black holes, including the bare mass of the black holes and black hole spin. We then explore how closely the expansion properties correspond to properties of a corresponding matter-dominated FLRW universe. As residual radiation present in the initial data decays, we find good agreement with a matter-dominated FLRW solution, and the effective density in the volume is well-described by the horizon mass of the black hole.
