Abstract
We present an expanding, spatially flat () FLRW quantum spacetime with a Big Bang, considered as a background in Yang-Mills matrix models. The FLRW geometry emerges in the semi-classical limit as a projection from the fuzzy hyperboloid. We analyze the propagation of scalar fields, and demonstrate that their Feynman propagator resembles the Minkowski space Feynman propagator in the semi-classical regime. Moreover, the higher spin modes predicted by the matrix model are described explicitly. These results are compared to recent results on FLRW quantum spacetimes with a Big Bounce.
