Evolution of cyclic mixmaster universes with noncomoving radiation
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D, 2017-12-15)
We study a model of a cyclic, spatially homogeneous, anisotropic mixmaster universe of Bianchi type IX 'mixmaster' universe, containing the a radiation field with non-comoving ('tilted' with respect to the tetrad frame of ...
Cyclic mixmaster universes
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D, 2017-04-19)
We investigate the behavior of bouncing Bianchi type IX “mixmaster” universes in general relativity. This generalizes all previous studies of the cyclic behavior of closed spatially homogeneous universes with and without ...
Inhomogeneous initial data and small-field inflation
(IoPJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2018-05-08)
We consider the robustness of small-field inflation in the presence of scalar field inhomo- geneities. Previous numerical work has shown that if the scalar potential is flat only over a narrow in- terval, such as in commonly ...
