The Future Asymptotics of Bianchi Viii Vacuum Solutions
نویسنده
چکیده
Bianchi VIII vacuum solutions to Einstein’s equations are causally geodesically complete to the future, given an appropriate time orientation, and the objective of this article is to analyze the asymptotic behaviour of solutions in this time direction. For the Bianchi class A spacetimes, there is a formulation of the field equations that was presented in an article by Wainwright and Hsu, and we will analyze the asymptotic behaviour of solutions in these variables. We also try to give the analytic results a geometric interpretation by analyzing how a normalized version of the Riemannian metric on the spatial hypersurfaces of homogeneity evolves.

Scalar fields on S̃L(2,R) and H ×R geometric spacetimes and linear perturbations
Using appropriate harmonics, we study the future asymptotic behavior of massless scalar fields on a class of cosmological vacuum spacetimes. The spatial manifold is assumed to be a circle bundle over a higher genus surface with a locally homogeneous metric. Such a manifold corresponds to the S̃L(2,R)-geometry (Bianchi VIII type) or the H × R-geometry (Bianchi III type). After a technical prepara...
متن کاملBianchi Viii Empty Futures
Using a qualitative analysis based on the Hamiltonian formalism and the orthonormal frame representation we investigate whether the chaotic behaviour which occurs close to the initial singularity is still present in the far future of Bianchi V III models. We describe some features of the vacuum Bianchi V III models at late times which might be relevant for studying the nature of the future asym...
متن کاملCurvature Blow up in Bianchi Viii and Ix Vacuum Spacetimes
The maximal globally hyperbolic development of non-Taub-NUT Bianchi IX vacuum initial data and of non-NUT Bianchi VIII vacuum initial data is C2-inextendible. Furthermore, a curvature invariant is unbounded in the incomplete directions of inextendible causal geodesics.

We consider the asymptotic behaviour of spatially homogeneous spacetimes of Bianchi type IX close to the singularity (we also consider some of the other Bianchi types, e. g. Bianchi VIII in the stiff fluid case). The matter content is assumed to be an orthogonal perfect fluid with linear equation of state and zero cosmological constant. In terms of the variables of Wainwright and Hsu, we have t...
متن کاملGlobal dynamics of the Mixmaster model
The asymptotic behaviour of vacuum Bianchi models of class A near the initial singularity is studied, in an effort to confirm the standard picture arising from heuristic and numerical approaches by mathematical proofs. It is shown that for solutions of types other than VIII and IX the singularity is velocity dominated and that the Kretschmann scalar is unbounded there, except in the explicitly ...
