Abstract

We consider spatially homogeneous Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz (HL) models that perturb General Relativity (GR) by a parameter v(0,1)v\in (0,1) such that GR occurs at v=1/2v=1/2. We describe the dynamics for the extremal case v=0v=0, which possess the usual Bianchi hierarchy: type I\mathrm{I} (Kasner circle of equilibria), type II\mathrm{II} (heteroclinics that induce the Kasner map) and type VI0,VII0\mathrm{VI_0},\mathrm{VII_0} (further heteroclinics). For type VIII\mathrm{VIII} and IX\mathrm{IX}, we use a computer-assisted approach to prove the existence of periodic orbits which are far from the Mixmaster attractor and thereby we obtain a new behaviour which is not described by the BKL picture of bouncing Kasner-like states.
