Abstract
This note expands on the details of the relationship between 4d kination solutions in string cosmology and Kasner solutions of 10d general relativity. It extends previous analyses of this relationship in IIB string theory to other string theories and also to 11d M-theory, while also providing extensive detail on the relationship between perturbations of the 10d Kasner metric and the presence of radiation and matter backgrounds in the dimensionally reduced 4d kination theory.
