We follow Bogoyavlensky's approach to deal with Bianchi class B cosmological models. We characterize the analytic integrability of such systems.

The dynamics of a class of cosmological models with collisionless matter and four Killing vectors is studied in detail and compared with that of corresponding perfect fluid models. In many cases it is possible to identify asymptotic states of the spacetimes near the singularity or in a phase of unlimited expansion. Bianchi type II models show oscillatory behaviour near the initial singularity w...

Bianchi type I magnetized cosmological models in the presence of a bulk viscous fluid are investigated. The source of the magnetic field is due to an electric current produced along x-axis. The distribution consists of an electrically neutral viscous fluid with an infinite electrical conductivity. The coefficient of bulk viscosity is assumed to be a power function of mass density. The cosmologi...

We investigate the evolution of different measures of “Gravitational Entropy” in Bianchi type I and Lemâitre-Tolman universe models. A new quantity behaving in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics is introduced. We then go on and investigate whether a quantum calculation of initial conditions for the universe based upon the Wheeler-DeWitt equation supports Penrose’s Weyl Curvature C...

We have investigated an LRS Bianchi Type I models with bulk viscosity in the cosmological theory based on Lyra’s geometry. A new class of exact solutions have been obtained by considering a time-dependent displacement field for a constant value of the deceleration parameter and viscosity coefficient of bulk viscous fluid is assumed to be a power function of mass density. The physical behaviour ...
