Isotropic Cosmological Singularities I. Polytropic Perfect Fluid Spacetimes
We consider the conformal Einstein equations for 1 ≤ γ ≤ 2 poly-tropic perfect fluid cosmologies which admit an isotropic singularity. For 1 < γ ≤ 2 it is shown that the Cauchy problem for these equations is well-posed, that is to say that solutions exist, are unique and depend smoothly on the data, with data consisting of simply the 3-metric of the singularity. The analogous result for γ = 1 (...
متن کاملCharacterisation of orthogonal perfect fluid cosmological spacetimes
We consider the general orthogonal metric separable in space and time variables in comoving coordinates. We then characterise perfect fluid models admitted by such a metric. It turns out that the homogeneous models can only be either FLRW or Bianchi I while the inhomogeneous ones can only admit G2 (two mutually as well as hypersurface orthogonal spacelike Killing vectors) isometry. The latter c...
متن کاملIsotropic singularities in shear-free perfect fluid cosmologies
We investigate barotropic perfect fluid cosmologies which admit an isotropic singularity. From the General Vorticity Result of Scott, it is known that these cosmologies must be irrotational. In this paper we prove, using two different methods, that if we make the additional assumption that the perfect fluid is shear-free, then the fluid flow must be geodesic. This then implies that the only she...
متن کاملCosmological Models with Isotropic Singularities
In 1985 Goode and Wainwright devised the concept of an isotropic singularity. Since that time, numerous authors have explored the interesting consequences, in mathematical cosmology, of assuming the existence of this type of singularity. In this paper, we collate all examples of cosmological models which are known to admit an isotropic singularity, and make a number of observations regarding th...
متن کاملCosmological singularities in Bakry–Émery spacetimes
We consider spacetimes consisting of a manifold with Lorentzian metric and a weight function or scalar field. These spacetimes admit a Bakry–Émery–Ricci tensor which is a natural generalization of the Ricci tensor. We impose an energy condition on the Bakry–Émery–Ricci tensor and obtain singularity theorems of a cosmological type, both for zero and for positive cosmological constant. That is, w...
