Some Hidden Structure in BKL

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-06-07 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

The way spacetime behaves as one approaches a spacelike singularity is re-investigated. We find a simple twistorial presentation that includes and simplifies the classic work of Belinskii, Khalatnikov and Lifshitz as well as the more recent results of Damour, Henneaux and Nicolai. We speculate on the application of our technique to the E{10} programme of M-theory.
