Backreaction in the future behavior of an expanding spacetime

Abstract

We perform a rescaling analysis to analyze the future behavior of a class of T2T^2-symmetric vacuum spacetimes. We show that on the universal cover, there is C0C^0-convergence to a spatially homogeneous spacetime that does not satisfy the vacuum Einstein equations.
