A New Class of Inhomogeneous Cosmological Solutions

Beginning with a special form of the Einstein-Rosen metric, we find new cosmological solutions of the Einstein equations, having two hypersurface-orthogonal Killing vectors , with ideal fluid. The equation of state is in the most cases of the form p = γρ.
