The BKL Conjectures for Spatially Homogeneous Spacetimes

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-03-17 v2

Abstract

We rigorously construct and control a generic class of spatially homogeneous (Bianchi VIII and Bianchi IX) vacuum spacetimes that exhibit the oscillatory BKL phenomenology. We investigate the causal structure of these spacetimes and show that there is a "particle horizon".
