Abstract

We establish global regularity and stability for the irrotational relativistic Euler equations with equation of state p=Kρ\overline{p}=K\overline{\rho}, where 0<K<1/30<K<1/3, for small initial data in the expanding direction of FLRW spacetimes of the form (R×T3,d\tb2+\tb2δijdxidxj)(\mathbb R\times\mathbb T^3,-d\tb^2+\tb^2\delta_{ij} dx^i dx^j). This provides the first case of non-dust fluid stabilization by spacetime expansion where the expansion rate is of power law type but non-accelerated. In particular, the time integral of the inverse scale factor diverges as tt\rightarrow\infty.
