Equilibrium points of the tilted perfect fluid Bianchi VI$_h$ state space
Abstract
We present the full set of evolution equations for the spatially homogeneous cosmologies of type VI filled with a tilted perfect fluid and we provide the corresponding equilibrium points of the resulting dynamical state space. It is found that only when the group parameter satisfies a self-similar solution exists. In particular we show that for there exists a self-similar equilibrium point provided that whereas for the state parameter belongs to the interval . This family of new exact self-similar solutions belongs to the subclass having non-zero vorticity. In both cases the equilibrium points have a five dimensional stable manifold and may act as future attractors at least for the models satisfying . Also we give the exact form of the self-similar metrics in terms of the state and group parameters. As an illustrative example we provide the explicit form of the corresponding self-similar radiation model (), parametrised by the group parameter . Finally we show that there are no tilted self-similar models of type III and irrotational models of type VI.
