Sudden future singularities in FLRW cosmologies

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-11-10 v2 Astrophysics

Abstract

The standard energy conditions of classical general relativity are applied to FLRW cosmologies containing sudden future singularities. Here we show, in a model independent way, that although such cosmologies can satisfy the null, weak and strong energy conditions, they always fail to satisfy the dominant energy condition. They require a divergent spacelike energy flux in all but the comoving frame.
