Abstract

We compute the Lema{\^i}tre-Hubble diagram for axial Bianchi IX universes with comoving dust. We motivate our choice by defining a {\it minimal} symmetry breaking of the cosmological principle. This criterium admits only two possibilities: the axial Bianchi I and IX universes. The latter have positive curvatures and reduce to the former in the zero curvature limit. Remarkably, negative curvatures are excluded by this minimal symmetry breaking in presence of comoving dust.
