Exponential Decay for Small Non-Linear Perturbations of Expanding Flat Homogeneous Cosmologies

Abstract

It is shown that during expanding phases of flat homogeneous cosmologies all small enough non-linear perturbations decay exponentially. This result holds for a large class of perfect fluid equations of state, but notably not for very ``stiff'' fluids as the pure radiation case.
